(I also posted this in the other thread about when can we get permits.)
Hell froze over this morning...
I got a call from my Rep's office in response to an email I sent yesterday objecting to the DOJ (mis)interpretation of the legislature's clear intent.
Since I've been roundly ignored by my Sen. & Rep. for months, this was a shock.
He'd called DOJ & it's
VanHollen who's the holdup here! :shocker:
:question: :exclaim:
Good ole JB reads the law to say that he shouldn't make apps available 'til the effective date, never mind why they'd need to be ready 2 months earlier than that... :banghead:
:cuss:
The staffer @ my rep's office is just as perplexed as the rest of us about why JB would throw away those 2 months of processing time, & agrees that the intent of the law is that apps be available to the public 01SEP, & permits issued ASAP after that.
He says that it would take an act of the Legislature to clarify that yes, they meant the apps to be available NLT 01SEP, but they're on summer break until 01SEP themselves.
The other option is to keep contacting our reps so JB gets lots of phone calls, and contact Sen. Galloway's office, and contact Walker (and maybe JB himself). Perhaps with some prodding from Walker & Galloway JB would come to see the error of his ways.
