PITTSBURGH — Elise Truchan has learned some lessons in her first run-in with bureaucracy.“I’ve learned that people lie,” is unfortunately one of them, her father recounted to Watchdog.org.
After Elise spent three months planning and then building an elaborate tree house for a school project, her family came home to find a note on their front door from the local building inspector telling them it had to come down
Now, in order to keep the treehouse from being torn down, the family has to pay $500 just for a chance at an official permission slip from Leet Township.
...After the township first ordered the family to pull down the treehouse –turning the Truchans’ situation into fodder for local and then national news – the family tried to reach an understanding with their local officials.
