What's your point?

FarmerJ, The power went out due to wind blowing. That is it! No storm. No snow. No car/truck hit. Mere wind. And, it was a mild, windy day. That is all it takes to disrupt electric power service to my home. Simple wind. I have a lot of answers for the judge. I will tell him that we...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ Howdy! I bought a house in 1987 as a rental investment. The former owner made a few "illegal" improvements, which includes an attached garage converted into living space. A former town police officer, he did not get any permits. An...
