She says one thing and does another. Who cares who turned her in. I don't. She was first turned in for an illegal accessory dwelling unit back in the early 2000s. This is not new news to her. <br /><br />Vivien cannot plead ignorance. She knew long ago she couldn't have a guest house. Why would anybody fall for her "poor me" scenario. What a joke! <br /><br />But what's worse is the Friends of the San Juans is just as hyprocritical for not asking for her resignation. They need to do the right thing and make sure their borad members represent what they stand for or else they will (and have because of Vivien's antics)lost credibility. I, for one, would think twice before donating my money to this cause.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025252027978265531.post-17178959268291703672012-06-30T01:21:43.454-07:002012-06-30T01:21:43.454-07:00Ms. Burnett has "justified" her actions ...Ms. Burnett has "justified" her actions in an interview with the San Juan Islander: she didn't know about the rules; she has been trying to comply with the law--she just needs her neighbors to sell her some land that they don't seem interested in parting with; and SHE has determined that SHE is not harming the environment. All I can say is REALLY? You are on the Board of the Friends and weren't aware of the very guesthouse rules that the Friends maneuvered for so long to have imposed upon us? You are the person who castigated Mr. Dalton in a public meeting on Orcas WHILE you were breaking the law.

These people renting hundreds of such units are an asset to the community and have done nothing wrong. Likely, most have no clue they are living in an "illegal" situation. Of course County rules pit one "law breaker" against another wherein there is always an obscure rule that is being broken by somebody or everybody! You rat me out at your own risk is the mantra. How sick is that? All of this nonsense needs to end.<br /><br />Lets clean house!

I don't...SOCIAL DESTRUCTION AND RESPONSIBILITY<br /><br />I don't look for an apology from Ms. Burnett, she is not different that hundreds of other Islanders having kitchens and toilets and people paying rent while living in dwellings with International Code violations. No, Ms. Burnett is not special. As an everyday Islander, she is as common as dirt.<br /><br />What does make Ms. Burnett a problem child is her support and association with an organization bent on social destruction, an organization that having upset thousands of quiet households with its "guesthouse" atomic, now seeks to do even further damage to the lives of Islanders with a premeditated attack on what they hold dearest; their land, their home.<br /><br />Perhaps even more destructive and certainly the most frightening is: "Who ratted on dear Vivian?" Certainly we all have neighbors who break the "rules" and we all look the other way because we know they can't afford a new 18K septic system, we know they need the rent from the shack out back, the room over the barn, the summer rental that isn't. You all know what I'm talking about. Live and let live!<br /><br />So now it is obvious the really awful thing about the organization Ms. Burnett is involved with is their development of social destruction. They rejoice in turning people in for violations of ridiculous rules and as much as anyone with a lick of humanity would dislike Ms. Burnett, I don't think we need to join in this social destruction. Few are perhaps as deserving as little Vivian, but once it starts, where does it stop?

I think it is an opportunity to continue disarming the FOSJ and to degrade their support. That sounds so negative even as I write it but they now seem to me to be very self involved as individuals and as a group. <br />Ms. Burnett is just the tip of the iceberg so to speak. <br />And I can say this w/some authority as a sixth generation islander.
