Welcome To KCCD … Now Scram!

A Berry Picker spotted two pieces of paper pasted outside the old P&Z office in the Kootenai County Courthouse. The first piece of paper that the county agency has a new name: "Kootenai County Community Development." On the paper below is this bureaucratic statement of purpose: "Working together with you to create an eco-friendly, diversity-oriented, progressive community where we can all work collaboratively to achieve fulfillment." And at the bottom this: "If you want a building permit perhaps this isn't the community for you." (Update: An insider tells Huckleberries that this sounds like the work of a disgruntled taxpayer. I'll check further Thursday.)

Question: Can anyone interpret all of this?
