Looking for knowledge to help homeowners in Sherman, Tx. City ordinance makes consumers responsible for repairs to sewer tap under street. Homeowners are spending over $10K to make sewage line repairs under street. Seems extraordinary and suspicious. Want to help neighboring city to help fight this ordinance. City of Sherman, Texas ordinance 13.07.147
This occurs all over the country, but seems a bit more pernicious across the Republic of Texas.
Fighting the establishment is risky.
Try that and you might be called a anarchist, worse yet, an insurrectionist.
You do have a right to take the dispute to the courts, avoiding the streets.
You can also organize and band together as homeowners and taxpayers.
The overlords always getcha, one way or another.
Suppose you organize 200 homeowners, everyone throws $500 into a legal defense fund. All of a sudden, your concerned homeowners of Sherman is sitting on $100,000.00!!!
You can hire a lobbyist, perhaps a law firm to formally surface your concerns to the overlords.
Otherwise, you could start seeking alternative abodes, located in places where government communicates, rather than dictates.
It might be the time to start a recall of those elected officials running roughshod over the citizenry.
