Judgement (Valentine's) Day

February 14th is the return date (the day the judge is set to render a decision).  The town attorney's office asked me to adjourn the matter for a couple of weeks.  I respectfully said no. That decision was partly emotional, being so close to the issue and not having the means to afford an attorney to represent my family; it was also based on the fact that the ZBA certified their vote with the town clerk in 4 days.  Normally it takes at least a month, if not longer.  My research with the town clerk's office covering the last 12 months shows that this move was unprecedented (I'll show you the data if you email me at yorktowncode@gmail.com).

I apologize for not cropping this painting before I posted it the first time.  I promise to steal it from the artist and scan it in one shot so we don't have that unsightly crease in the center as well.  Fine art though, right?

Unless the judge grants an adjournment without my consent, it should all happen very quickly.  Though it's quite possible the judge needs more time to review it because of a heavy case load or whatnot.  I honestly have no idea what is about to happen because I'm not an attorney and have never done this before.  It's all rather exciting and scary. What if the judge reprimands me and I end up looking like an ass and all of Yorktown hates me, forever.  That would suck.
