The building department has no legal enforcement jurisdiction on this manner and the board is a group of his peers . This is a civil matter that the courts should reside over and not a group of fellow gangsters. If a prison were to elect a parole board it wouldn’t be among the inmates.

Get it right buddy. You are most certainly NOT a victim, you just HAVE victims. And then you have the gall to stand up there and talk about how hard it’s been on you. You have no remorse and no shame. His “contractor” days need to be over for good.

He sounds like he thinks he’s the victim. Lock him up and throw away the keys.

Mr. LaCoste, you have nobody to blame for your situation but yourself. You can work under someone else’s license until you pay back the people you stole from. There is no excuse you can offer to allow you to continue in the manner that got you here. Like others, I suggest you cut back on your lifestyle and possessions if you truly want to make amends, and get right with the Lord as you claim to be a Christian man. My God lived among the poor whilst he gave gave them riches beyond measure. You can at least do the same and make restitution to all who you robbed. Be the change you are espousing first before seeking redemption.

If these contractor would have done crimes like these up north, he would have been sitting in jail. Proof of a contract submitted to the victim’s law enforcement jurisdiction and that is it, and immediate restitution , or lien on everything. These criminals are getting away with it. Teach them a lesson or many other contractors would do the same. Protect the consumer, and honest contractors by throwing the book and jail keys on them.

This guy is what 90% of my experiences have been like anytime I’ve tried to get anything done in the FL Panhandle. Corrupt good ol’ boys everywhere.

He could also sell that $80,000 truck he is riding around in as well to contribute to what owes people!

He can swing a hammer and a shovel without a permit. Work for someone for a while and see just how you treated people.
Also disrespect of a hat inside did not go un-noticed.

At the very least, take your hat off while addressing the Board.
