Letters: Tent meeting was disruptive; county should have acted

Regarding the letter from the organizer of the tent meetings ("Tent meeting family hopes to avoid controversy next year," Aug. 5), this tent that was parked on McNamara Road and Parkway with no permit did a lot of damage. It hurt people with lots of noise, cars making dust, running a generator until 9 p.m. or later, music so loud even dogs left the area.

Maybe a sound-proof building would help.

Our codes are not misunderstood, they are there on the books to keep your kind in line. The only fiasco was your total ignorance of the laws of the land. Our codes don't need to be changed, and if they do the people should be informed.

As for our county government, how can you treat someone who doesn't have a use permit like they have one? Ask county attorney Dohn Henion, private attorney Jon Alexander and county administrator Jeannine Galatioto. They dreamed up this idea—make rules and let the show go on five more days—boy did we suffer.

Does the word vote ring a bell?
