Because of course they did.A statement from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, which also had a hand in the case, confirmed Sherman did disrupt wetlands with the construction. But if quickly rectified, the men would not face any penalty from the department.
Sherman said that is exactly what they did.
“Within a day of the notification, we hired the people that we were supposed to. We contacted DEP. We did exactly everything the DEP asked us to do,” he said.
However, the DEP confirmed it was up to the municipality whether it would like to pursue further disciplinary action.
The town’s selectboard unanimously decided to pursue the violation.
Not about the money at all, I'm sure.It said it did so to ensure property owners on Lake Sheepscot know that they must follow codes and ordinances, even if they remediate damages once a violation has been issued.
Legal tender! Enjoy!Last Thursday, Sherman dropped off the $20,000 payment entirely in loose change, weighing over 12,000 pounds, to the Palermo Town Office.
Yes, heard of court fines and such. But don't believe anything of this scale.Not the first time this stunt was pulled. Sometimes it's a small protest and everybody laughs.
A bit. But they rectified the situation and still got hit. Of course they apparently did a no-no, but made good. 20k seems a tad steep for something that has been 'fixed'.But this looks vindictive.
And they absolutely can refuse it and demand other payment method.
Some fights don't make sense because they're principles against principles and so not entirely logical.Yes, heard of court fines and such. But don't believe anything of this scale.

Some people aren't logical when coughing up 20k. Just the work in obtaining and hauling it there. F that.Some fights don't make sense because they're principles against principles and so not entirely logical.
Looks like it. Only 2mil.Are those pennies?
If only they could find someone to smelt currency and separate the alloy. Then it's down to numbers on worth it or not.Nickels would work too... what they could have done was melted them down for scrap, sold the metal, and paid the $20,000 out of their profits.
If i was working the office, I would have a sudden family emergency and have to go.If I were working that office, I'd say "Sorry... the fine isn't paid until you hand it to me in the window." I'd kindly help them roll the pennies in 50-cent rolls until my shift was over. "Sorry... we're closing." Next day, I'd remind them that because the fine wasn't paid on time, another $1,000 or whatever it is has been added to their tab.
Why? Just the video for social media is worth more than you make in a month. Buckle up and keep riding.If i was working the office, I would have a sudden family emergency and have to go.
Well, you don't know what I make in a month. Sole proprietor electric; can't complain.Why? Just the video for social media is worth more than you make in a month. Buckle up and keep riding.
Thy don't have Coinstar up there?Good or bad that would not be legal in Canada
It would have to be rolled or exchanged at a bank for larger denominations
What's Coinstar?Thy don't have Coinstar up there?

It is a Kiosk in which you dump loads of excessive coins. It counts the money and provides you with a receipt that is redeemable for paper bills at the establishment where the kiosk is. In my area, the fee for providing this service is typically 15%. As an alternative, I can opt for a gift card exclusive to the establishment. In that case, there is no fee and I get 100% value for my coins.What's Coinstar?
They actually cannot refuse it and demand other payment:And they absolutely can refuse it and demand other payment method.
31 USC 5103 said:United States coins and currency ... are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues.
Even more hilarious would be if their floor was not rated to carry a concentrated load of six tons and it collapsed into the unoccupied basement with no injuries.
They have one in my local grocery store, but I've never used it. Fifteen percent? ****in' A, man that's usury shit right there.It is a Kiosk in which you dump loads of excessive coins.

Why is that, exactly?Another argument for proceeding to a cashless society.
Well, you're paying for the convenience. That's got to be worth something. And as I wrote, we have the option of getting full value if we choose to spend it at the current location. If it happens to be a grocery store, no problem.They have one in my local grocery store, but I've never used it. Fifteen percent? ****in' A, man that's usury shit right there.
Fifteen percent is pretty damned inconvenient. I'd rather just go to my credit union. I don't need my loose change sorted that badly to lose 15% of it to a counting machine.Well, you're paying for the convenience. That's got to be worth something.

You credit union will count your change for free? That's mighty nice of them. Most places of business tend to charge something for services rendered.Fifteen percent is pretty damned inconvenient.

Yes, they will count for free. You just walk in and tell them you want to make a deposit. There's no charge for making a deposit.You credit union will count your change for free? That's mighty nice of them. Most places of business tend to charge something for services rendered.
My bank won't do that. They would hand me a bunch of coin wrappers and tell me to wrap them myself. They won't take a bucket of loose change.Yes, they will count for free. You just walk in and tell them you want to make a deposit. There's no charge for making a deposit.
Actually, it depends. If you have a job that pays you say, $40 per hour, and it would take you 30 minutes to sort and wrap $100 worth of loose change, it means you spent $20 to save $15.Fifteen percent is pretty damned inconvenient.
