Is your moratorium valid? Talk of the Towns article Dec. 2012

Is your moratorium valid?  Talk of the Towns article Dec. 2012

This is accurate and had been carefully reviewed before it was finalized.  It is also good that this is going to towns, as the land owner associations have been lying about it.  I hope it is not too technical    The important disctinctions about the Binghamton facts were that their law was not a zoning law and every other moritorium and ban I have seen is zoning.
So, this “dire necessity” test [which I feel was not the proper one and that is part of the appeal] does not apply to zoning bans.  Joe Heath, Esq.
