Corrupt Lamar

The effort to document the evidence surrounding the attack on our family and the loss of our home.

Reasons why it matters to you:

It impacts your taxes.

Penalties from ordinance violations are a form of revenue for the county. If the county refuses to penalize violators, they are refusing to collect revenue owed to them by law. When this happens they have few other sources of income other than the local tax payer. Which means you, the taxpayer, end up footing the bill for their refusal to enforce the law.

You paid for them to do it.

For the most part, those involved were county employees, who abused their positions in order to personally profit and perform favors for friends. This was done during business hours in their official capacity, which means you paid for them to do it, and when they stole time or borrowed county equipment, you paid for that as well.

It threatens your home.

Nobody cares about ordinances, but they serve an important purpose too often ignored. They allow you to protect your home. Ordinances provide important structure and organization for industry, and they help private citizens enforce the right to protect private property. When the county disregards these laws, the county robs the opportunity for private citizens to protect their property.

It will effect our way of life

A tyrannical government which disregards federal, state, and local laws while basing decisions not on lawfulness, but on quantity of spite, will impact the lives of every citizen in the county.

There is absolutely nothing stopping them from doing it to you. If not held accountable, it is only a matter of time until they do it again, and then it will become the norm.

In 2010, we returned home to care for ailing family members, the years that followed were unequivocally the hardest in our lives. We watched as our family slowly shrank in numbers before our eyes. It didn’t take long until there was only one left and the place our family had called home for sixty years.

Then in 2016, the same neighbor who had emptied all of our wells in the early 2000s, managed to railroad plans for a sixty acre solar power plant through approval near our family’s farm. We did our research, learned all we could, and chose to oppose the construction. Our opposition was vocal and highly contested, but proponents of the project and county officials handled our opposition in another way.

Rather than address the topic at hand, they choose to come after our family and home. At first it was mild acts of harassment, then it evolved into stalking, vandalization, and defamation. Then, when our neighbor disappeared and we discovered the property he owned across the street was up for sale, we suspected something was coming. What began was a systematic and coordinated county backed destruction of the neighborhood through illegal property development and destructive construction practices. Federal protective laws were disregarded, complaints ignored, and legal loopholes exploited.

It was planned in advance with the aid of an attorney, it was an abuse of governmental power performed out of malicious spite, and it destroyed what little of our family we had left. It is Anathema.

These are the people.

Shane Tyler was the person Doug ensured purchased the land across the street, and this wasn’t because Doug thought we would get along.

She developed the land facing out property we had needed to make our farm profitable into a subdivision of cheaply made houses. Her and her family continued pressure us to move out of the community. Then when everything was ruined, she placed her property on the market and left us with her mess. She had only lived here for only two years, and is now off to do it to someone else. To Profile
