Barton Eviction – Mortgage Crisis from Main Site

Ah…that is more interesting. I’ll check it out. So we have a case of overlapping authority dispute.

Well, these usually end up in court for final disposition, which undoubtedly provides some potential leverage to the Bartons, when this gets final adjudication. But they’ll probably not have enough of it to get the house back. Maybe they get some consideration for the confusion factor from the judge.

I’ll venture a guess that if nobody backs down and this DOES get to a higher court, that the County will win. Only because I suspect a judge(s) would favor consistent enforcement of a law on the books vs. selective enforcement – save for a law that’s been unenforced for a long time or is in general agreement should be taken off the books.

So, essentially, the mayor and presumably in concert with the Chief of SPD, ceded authority to execute the law to the County Sheriff.

Which is simply another way for the local city authorities to plausibly maintain the white hat.

Sorta’ standard play, I would suspect. County Sheriff is just pissed to have been forced to wear the black hat. Oh well, he asked to wear it when he ran for the office.

Perhaps you have another take on it, Skeets? Happy to hear your interpretation of the events, as always.
