Don Armstrong... at it again!

Don Armstrong, Town Lawyer, advised a nice innocent young couple with one child, to buy a one acre lot in a two acre zone and now they are stuck with a useless vacant lot. Think that's bad? It gets worse. Armstrong had to know he was advising them to buy that illegal lot when he did so two years ago. Less than a year ago he sent a letter to another fellow telling him he could NOT sell HIS undersized lots! So what's the difference. Well, now it gets interesting... The fellow he told he couldn't sell his lots was NOT a friend of the town board while the woman whose illegal lot he helped sell IS a friend of the town board. And it gets worser, or worse yet or whatever... wait till you hear this. The bestest childhood friend of the woman whose illegal lot he helped sell is his client! Can you smell the fish yet? Last March Armstrong sends a letter to the ZBA telling them that, in his opinion, it is just fine and dandy for this undersized lot and they should grant a variance... BUT just TWO months before that, in January, he cited chapter and verse and the law that proved without a doubt that it was illegal to do what he just told the ZBA it was OK to do. (I'm getting a headache)

Let's see what we have here.

Conflict of interest? Yep!
Favoritism? You Bet!
Unethical? Without a doubt!
Illegal? In all likelihood!

I know I have your curiosity at a fever pitch but I just don't have time right now to do the full blown, chapter and verse, treatment this story deserves. But you can bet I will, and soon. The saddest part is the poor young family that have been cheated out of their money because of Don Armstrong. And he is our town lawyer, and doesn't that make you just feel so special and warm all over? No? It should make you mad as hell at Armstrong and at our town board for hiring him.

Attention Pro Bono Lawyers: Here is a good chance to help these poor people get their money back AND you will have the distinct pleasure of suing Don Armstrong. Now don't push and shove, get in line, it's bound to be a long one.
