Modus Operandi

Something about the latest drama with the county executive feels familiar: Erie City, Davis Admin. clash again over vacant tiny homes. Let’s compare notes:

Davis ignored the zoning procedures for this tiny house project, similar to the way that he ignored the Donated and Dedicated Property Act (DDPA) in leasing space to Gannon in the Blasco Library. He also breeched his fiduciary duty in having these homes built when they couldn’t be used because he refused to submit plans to the City of Erie, similar to the way he leased county property at far below market value for up to 45 years. The main difference is that he’s certainly no library expert, but he purports to be an expert in construction. Hmmm…

And, he’s whipping out that argument that no one wants to work with HIM. It’s nothing personal, but when everyone else is expected to follow the law, it doesn’t increase his likeability to flout the law.

This is why our lawsuit is so important. Davis will continue making up the rules as he goes along. He needs to be held accountable for his actions.
