I'm glad someone has shown the gumption, and spent the money, to fight City Hall on a zoning issue.

Those of you who don't own a business probably have no idea about the regulatory climate in this city, but it is often political, sometimes arbitrary, and occasionally so weird, mysterious, and ominous that it makes doing business here a trial, at times.

I'm not even a fan of topless dancing, but I am a fan of equal enforcement, and not enforcement based on politics, personal relationships, or the size of my organization. Yes, folks, believe it or not, in this bastion of the DFL, large corporations have a mind numbing advantage over the little guy, at our City Hall.

Corps have the staff, time, and money to navigate the maze of regulations and codes, and what's more, our city staff generally prefers to work with them, over a new guy with no clue. Yeah for big business.

What's even worse, and makes me boil with rage, is how it seems like everyone ay City Hall circles the wagons when it looks like one of them may be in the wrong. I guess I'm naive, but I thought everyone, including the city Attorney, worked for the citizens, but no, they work for the CITY, and mother city must be protected so that all may continue to suckle from her teat.

Bravo to the Double Deuce! Stick it to the man. Maybe you can put a chink in the City's armor that others can exploit.
