True dat...

And after Danny Boy got crosswise with the conservation folks by cutting down those trees without a permit so he had a better view of the river, count on the fact that tree huggers will oppose him every step of the way if he seeks a variance on that rule...

A lawyer for one of the big conservation groups (a national one) lives two doors away from me. I asked her what her organization would do if they heard that the Redskins wanted a variance here. She said she figured they could tie it up in litigation and regulatory red tape for at least 5 years.
