2:07 pm
made reasonable attempts to make this ferment finalized m. lee bloodiest -- finalized and legalized. requiring orders of abatement are unrealistic in slow-moving procedures to get a building permits through planning. recently i went through a d r request a hearing -- the art request a hearing -- dr request during -- hearing for a building permit. sorry.
