Editor:

I drove through your lovely county recently and happened upon your front page story about the stop work order issued to Mr. Schneider ("Broken Trust," Aug. 25).

I worked 15 years as a building official in a major Canadian city. I worked a subsequent 15 years as a project manager in Canada's artic with aboriginal people. 

Everyone, for the most, part followed the rules and got along. 

Mr. Schneider broke his promise to build according to his own building permit drawings, and worked through a stop work order. 

Mr. Schneider should be charged and made to appear in court. Mr. Bongio should move on or be terminated.
