So this well-paid City employee breaks the law and is given a $41,000 break.

But when the Oakleigh Lane neighbors win a Court of Appeals appeal, and the City is found to have unlawfully excluded a person from the process, here are the results:

- The City Attorney and the planners who acted unlawfully and fought to escape responsibility by fighting the neighbors' appeal got full pay and benefits.

- The neighbors are out around $20,000 and don't get a dime back.

This is the kind of thing that fuels the Trump madness -- patently unlawful and unjust behavior by city employees and real hardship imposed on law-abiding citizens by staff breaking the law.

And the clueless folks who voted for Vinis provide the cover for this to continue.
