| Delaware Democrat Chris Coons and the abuse of government power |
| 2010-09-21 |
Sounds like a Republican with an axe to grind, huh? Not so much. On the phone, Mr. Muller told that he is “way over on the lefty liberal end of the political spectrum,” but would never vote for Chris Coons because, he says, Coons has “no respect for his constitutents.” Muller told me: “I am one of those people who thinks the world is safer with the Democrats in control of the Senate, but I could never support Coons, because he is personally malicious.” He said that Coons is “very bright and he knows how to jerk off the public while representing special interests.”He's the kind of nasty boy who uses the courts and code enforcement to thump any of the peasantry who get out of line. |

| #5 Code enforcement harassment here in Oakland is so rampant that there has been talk of a RICO case lately. |

| #4 This is the part that I find scary about Chris Coons: Muller writes: We also did something stupid in the circumstances: Bought a historic house threatened with demolition. This opened us up to unending harassment. ...[T]hey charge us ten or twelve times for the same “offense,” and we are convicted for each “offense.” The county ordinance apparently allows bringing a separate charge every day. So the county could charge a person 365 times for having a cracked windowpane and then deliver these charges all at once, without prior notice, and demand a fine for each “violation.” A minimum fine of $100 is prescribed for each “violation” and “the court shall not suspend the sentence of any person …” Welcome to Delaware! Abuse of code enforcement power has often been used to harass people. Since, obviously, every property has some technical code violation, anyone could be harassed. While the evil of Coons in abusing these laws is obvious, it is also obvious that the Delaware General Assembly has itself done a great evil by passing such laws for the County, and by failing to maintain the integrity of Delaware’s courts. The documents support Muller’s contention. Muller links to a court document that contains numerous charges against him for unpermitted work to his roof. Each of the charges contains the same verbiage and makes the same accusations. But each charge is alleged to have occurred exactly one month apart. The first is on March 10, the next is on April 10, the third is on May 10, the next on June 10 — and so on, and so on, and so on. I told him it looked like they were charging him every month for work that he had done once. He said it was worse than that — they were still coming after him even after he got everything fixed. |

| #2 haha. I just love this story. Isn't it a classic? Lefty loon is all about love for Big Government until one day, he realizes that Big Government doesn't love him for loving them. It's great to help the little people until it impacts you personally, eh Mr. Muller? Classic. |

| #1 I think Coons better watch himself. We heard about some of Christine O'Donnell's earlier associations... There may be others she hasn't mentioned, and Coons may well end up with the tail of a pig. |
