"I'm Mad As Hell", by Howard Jarvis. Published in 1979, so it may not still be in print. You'll then learn just how nasty bureaucrats, their unions, and politicians can become when they think their growth in income is threatened.

Most county and local officials are too short sighted to see that the boom is bad in the long run. They look at the boom as a giant cock extender and it makes them feel powerful.
It sucks I agree, it has left me feeling bitter and I believe I am insulting vulture by describing these people as such.
What can you do? Get involved with the local govt. let them know that you want your town to be small and anti-development is a good thing.
