My experience is that the bureaucrats are happy to leave well enough
alone,
as long as you help them defend against the complainant - in your case
some
real estate woman.

My sincere suggestion is to go back and edit out all of the angry,
insulting, abrasive comments from your letter, and make it as plain and
straightforward as you can. Write it as if Mr Trejo was on your side,
which
I think he probably is. Then print it out and have it ready to hand to
him
when he comes out to visit.

When he visits, ask him how long he has lived in the area, see if he has
any
interest in old cars or trucks, show off your favorite lathe or tractor,
and
in general, be a nice guy. You will come off as the nice, reasonable, old
timer vs. the shrill, bitchy, nagging, complaining busybody.

Make this guy your friend against the intruding yuppie lady. It's nice to
be nice...


Emmo,

All good advice, and FWIW I have already forwarded a copy to my brother who
is an attorney in order that he may edit my draft...and already I have
recieved an edited copy back--perhaps this evening I may also post it if I
find time.

Thanks for your level-headed response--it comes much appreciated.
