that close me off because of my experiences with local government. Here they are, and here are my definitions:

"Done Deal": The impression the public has when they encounter a zoning issue for the first time in a first reading or P&Z meeting in city government. It usually occurs because the lawyers for the developer had conduit calls with the city manager or city attorney BEFORE the matter came up for the public to review.

"It's on them": It means that the people in authority expect you to sue them if you want justice, but they're not going to abide by state or federal laws.
