Dano, it is pretty sad. Kirkwood is approx 6 miles away and I attended a zoning meeting there a few years ago for work. The guy violated the city ordinance of operating a business (construction contactor) out of his home, owed $18k in tickets (city waived), sued the city and the supreme court (tried, lost/denied yesterday), disrupted city hall meetings, etc and his brother/mother says something to the effect that it was a long time coming, was discriminated against and they (city hall) were picking on him. He was involved in the city and served on the housing authority. Sad, very sad!
