So in summary:
CBE probably can read it and understand what it means, excepting of course, question #3.
Gregg can probably understand it. He might even be able to read and understand the MCA, and City Ordinances.
Joe has a couple points. First, he notes “EPC can not make the city pay for any debt EPC incurs.” In this present circumstance, […]
I have a question.
I have been following a discussion relevant to ECP and whether or not they are in violation of City Code. I am struck by something and I happen to think it is important.
