The Revis family spends $341.98, not $641.98. But yes, they buy a lot of crap. They also buy alot of fruit and they're in decent shape for such voracious sharks.
The fact of the matter is that city council actions are supposed to allow public access and public input unless they are discussing personnel matters. A city council can't just close it's doors and make zoning changes.
The council members were elected. They made a zoning change. It's perfectly legal and it is done all across America. Don't like zoning? Go live in the county.
It's not mommy government, it just appears unusual. But it's up to your city council or county supervisor to decide if a Wal Mart can go here, or an insurance agency goes there. There are also rules on what kind of sign your business can have, the size of it, how many lights, whether it keeps with the town's ascetic....
Why is this case so special? This is what your local government does.
