Dennis, I didn't mean to say that your advice about getting an attorney involved was wrong, and in re-reading my post, I could have said it better. The better the attorney, the more favorable the results with something like this, but the issue/problem can stay compartmentalized at that specific level of bureaucracy without oversight from a higher power. I'm saying why take the chance?
Also, I agree with you Dennis, that when you need to fight for something, do it.
To amplify Norm's part, Jersey as a US citizen (assuming), has a right to access his/her local, state, and federal politicians. The ACoE is a federal organization as is the US Senate.
Funding for ACoE projects are reviewed, approved, modified, or denied by committees made up of US Senators, and Congressmen I believe. There's a hell of a lot of stroke there, and it's at Jersey's fingertips if he/she wants it.
So Jersey, I'm saying come in from above. You have had no satisfaction dealing with these people. Take it as high as you can.
Also Jersey, I've mentioned contributing money before. You may not even have to give any money. You could certainly give it a shot, but my opinion is when you want something and you're fighting for it, come in strong like you mean it.
