I will not post the entire 26 pages of the verdict, BUT, I will post some highlights and the conclusions. Click to the right for the entire document. (11-12-09 findings and conclusions)
Remember when the news did a series of stories about how code enforcement was a mess? This paragraph speaks volumes;
And the last sentence in this one says it all – beat a dead horse and maybe it will wake up.
I think the verdict is pretty clear – the city is violating citizen’s constitutional rights to Due Process. Wonder if the city will appeal the decision? I want to personally thank Dan Daily for taking up this cause, this just wasn’t a ruling for him, but for the citizens of Sioux Falls who have been harassed by the city and had their hands tied. While many people may think I am mean in some of the statements I make here, most of the time I am being sarcastic, but right now, I am not; someone needs to pay for the code enforcement mess, dearly, and hopefully it will be city attorney Tornow. Besides being fired, I would love to see him disbarred, fined and jailed for crimes against the constitution.
