Shortly after countywide zoning went into effect in Buncombe County, Zoning Administrator Jim Coman announced his retirement. Two quotes of interest from the article covering the story are:
People don’t want government involved in their lives, but the minute … anything goes wrong, they call the government.
It’s great entertainment, after being a bureaucrat for 40 hours a week, to go out on the weekend to shoot people.
Note: Coman is a Civil War reenactor.
