AUGUSTA (AP) — A toilet protest by an Augusta man angered by the city’s decision to flush a proposed Dunkin’ Donuts shop in his neighborhood is growing.

David Labbe, a plumber, put five commodes in his yard in October when the city’s planning board, backed by his neighbors, rejected a zoning change that would have allowed the Dunkin’ Donuts plan to go forward.

The developers were prepared to offer Labbe three-times what he paid for his home so they could tear it down and build the coffee shop.

The Kennebec Journal (http://bit.ly/19sENqD ) reported that Labbe’s protest has now grown to 28 snow-covered toilets. He says he thinks he can fit 100 toilets in his yard.

His neighbors call his protest childish.
