A long time resident...

and neighbor is attempting to finish an improvement project in their historic College Park home. There are two impact windows that have yet to be replaced after the first part of the project was finished a couple of years ago. After a go-around with staff about the type of windows (after the approval had already been given by the Historic Resource Preservation Board - these two windows were the same as the ones already installed a few years ago), they hired a contractor who is ready to start work today. However, the City just sent out a letter that since a $35 check bounced, they are unable to issue a permit and therefore the work cannot commence.

The only problem is: The contractor paid the $35 in CASH. If a check wasn't written, it couldn't have bounced.

How is that audit coming?
