This happened, kind of, to me. A fellow dog person, (in another township, who happens to sit on the county board with ourtownship president) made a call to our township to say I had a sign out in front of my house that said I was boarding animals. This is a violation of my kennel license and was completely untrue. I had 6 outdoor only runs at the time, and they were for MY dogs only. Also, my sign in front of my house was very clear, K-9 Castle, home of the Royal T Shepherds, Obedience/Agility classes offered, and a phone number. I got a letter in the mail stating that my kennel license had been revoked because I had a sign in front of my property saying I was offering boarding. I called the Town President and asked if he ACTUALLY drove by the house and read my sign. He said he did. I then asked if he knew how to read? That, of course, didn't go over for well, LOL, but I was pissed! I was forced to pay another $100 fee to the board to plead my case, brought a current picture of the sign, and made a speach in front of the township. I got my kennel license back, but the Town President, still showing loyalty to his friend on the county board, or mad at being called an idiot, still voted NO. It turns out the fellow dog person was mad about the competition with obedience classes, and decided to use her county influence to remove my kennel license. Officials abusing their power for a friend, or to show who's boss is all the same to me. It's unacceptable. Officials should have the obligation to investigate fully prior to targeting licensed, legal constituents by revoking licenses.
