Farmton, a city of 23,000 homes proposed for a remote tree farm in Volusia and Brevard counties, isn't urban sprawl, according to an administrative law judge's ruling in the first case to test Florida's watered-down growth management law.

I am not a lawyer but concerning my own administrative land use cases, I read cases pertaining to application of new law on an existing action, as well as an internal DOAH opinion, stating that new law that is substantive in nature/more than changing procedures cannot be applied to existing cases.

It is inherently contradictory to judicial principles to allow the legislature to change the rules in the middle of the game, but DOAH has adopted the practice. It makes no sense to apply new substantive law after the trial/presentation of evidence. In one of my cases ALJ Canter decided to apply the law after Proposed Recommended Orders had been filed.

Do you know who ALJs answer to for dereliction of duty? If so, let me know because the DOAH Clerk does not know. Nor the governor's office, nor the Bar nor the committee that investigates judges (JQC).

In light of the obvious corrupted judges on the lst DCA, e.g., Kahn and Hawkes, I chose not to subject myself to the certain judgment to pay opponents' appeal costs no matter how many precedent cases supported my allegations.

Every branch of state government is in lock step collusion in favor of the same entities who opposed Amd 4.
