RANT: 65$ permit for a hot water heater

I just got a “permit” from the local komisars. For the privilege of playing the plumber to put in a hot water heater, the plumber paid on my behalf, a “fee” to the local komisar of plumbing 65$!

What for?

The local komisar is supposed to send a bureaucrat to “inspect” the installation.

Why would I want that? If I want the installation inspected, why can’t I just look at it myself?

Argh!!!

The gooferment is the only one who can force me to pay for services I don’t want!
