Accountability lacking in antenna tower debacle

Bob Marsh Berkeley

I still protest the oversized antenna tower in McKinley Street. 

In Berkeley, to build a tall ugly structure, you need a building permit. I have four questions: 

1. Which person approved the building permit for the McKinley Street tower? 

2. Which person approved payment for the tower? 

3. Is there any indemnity in place for errors like this? 

4. What is the refund, resale or salvage value of the structure as it now is?
