Letter: It’s about the policy, not the person

As a former zoning inspector in Paris Township, Portage County, I would like to share my insights on the “he-said-she-said” article about Windham’s zoning inspector. The problem with the article is that it focused on who the new inspector is, not the true root of the problem, which is officials bending rules to make people happy: in this case written township zoning resolutions and county policies.
