Q: Can I sue the County government for maintaining an unfair tax advantage for a former muni employee competitor in the CT
Am in the County. The City opened up and the first license went to the city community dev director that helped make the ord and a 6% tax advantage over me, after espousing prohibition for his career and a few months before speaking against me at my County planning hearing, which I go through every year. They now are appointing my competitor to the planning commission in the County, knowing his unsavory ethics. There is lots of history and the County supes hate me and he is pretty much a colleague, while they set my tax rate in the County each year the highest allowed by the voter he pays no tax after helping form the ord in the city. A lot of history and emails and pub comment here. I think local le at one point along with a local politician broke into a shop of mine on election night. A lot of corruption in my community govts. I don't want to do the babylon system with this anymore.

A:
If you believe that the County government is maintaining an unfair tax advantage for a former municipal employee competitor, you may want to consult with an attorney who specializes in tax law or government law. An attorney can review the details of your case and advise you on whether you have a viable legal claim and what steps you can take to address the situation.
It's important to note that suing a government entity can be complex and challenging, and there may be specific requirements and procedures that must be followed. An attorney can help you navigate the legal system and ensure that your claim is filed correctly and within the appropriate timeframe.
In addition, if you have evidence of corruption or illegal activity by local officials, you may want to consider reporting this to the appropriate authorities, such as the local district attorney's office or the state attorney general's office. It's important to gather as much evidence as possible to support your claims, including emails, public comments, and any other documentation that may be relevant.
Again, consulting with an attorney who specializes in tax law or government law can help you evaluate your options and determine the best course of action in your specific situation.
