      Fircrest isn't the only Guilty Municipality!

This article came out in the Sunday, June 10, 2012 edition, as front page headline, titled "Open courts, closed files: Hitting roadblocks in quest for public files".  Unsure if many of you were aware that my wife, Julie Post, stated in a council meeting that you could no longer obtain information about the legal description of your property in Fircrest.  Prior to September, 2011, you could go to the Pierce County Website and input your parcel number to find information about your property.  Since September 2011 you will still see some information about your property however much of the remaining information you will see, "Contact City of Fircrest".

This "roadblock" occurred shortly after I gave Mr. Trent Lougheed, of the City of Fircrest, a copy of our legal description at  Monterey Lane containing our "Express Easement" stating a 10' property border was for the use of Fircrest for "Utilities, Streets, and Drainage".  For those who haven't been following our group for very long, this has probably been our foundation statement of our cause, since the onset of our cry for help.

At the last study session the mayor of Fircrest, Mr. David Viafore, stated he was going consult their land attorney to obtain legal standing on this issue. By the way, this Tuesday, June 12, 2012 is the City of Fircrest Council meeting where this issue is supposed to be addressed.

As the title of this page states Fircrest is not the only municipality guilty of this "skulduggery", for lack of a better term.  I was simply unaware this issue was so widespread!
