In more ways than one.
Get your tape measurer out and start measuring.
They grow some real stinky stuff over at the . . . oh, you mean lawns!
Maybe they should spend more time fighting crime than policing yards.
Almost everyone who is not a Bigtime landlord will get a grass citation at the end of April.Sometimes I cut mine twice and take pictures and still get one.It is a source of revenue for that department.More criminal minds there than in the jailhouse.I was hoping Mr. Mayor would clear them out. Guess they put on a "nice face" for the boss.
Total waste of tax payers money. Get a life and enforce laws that actually do harm to people. I guess the county needs something for all of these public employees to do rather than just sit around and drink coffee and draw a paycheck. Maybe it's time for a layoff in order to help with the budget.
These are city employees who walk around in your yard and peer at your property and find flaws in your paint and a cracked window and attach a fine to it. If they enforced their laws evenly they would be thrown out of the city on their A$$es. They don't mess with the wealthy, only us poor working class individuals. The county has there own bunch . These however are city employees in question here. Spend the money on the police Department and catch the vandels who destroy property and write on houses.Don't punish the victims. That is what they do.
Mr Mayor probably shows them respect for their knowledge so they mirror it back. The criminal minds are at the top and the departmental employees are probably doing what they need to do to keep their jobs from pressure from the tilted elite.
Many of my former neighbors got tired of the city patroling their yards and the constant ticketing by The BHZ and now the NCCC or whatever,Tired of the crime and having their property destroyed.They Left the city. They sold their homes at a loss to become rentals in the city. Looks like a plan in motion to me. A strong Mayor could set this straight.70% rentals but they won't get mine
Dude...I thought everyday....uh...um...wait a second,...what was I saying?...oh yea, now I remember...I thought everyday was grass n' weed day!
Remind the city of Salisbury to clear & repair our streets and if it snows, to plow them!
Remind them we neither need nor want a new library.(Save a buck for the other reminders)
great, just a reminded to go out and weed the potholes and cracked sidewalks in front of our house that the city choses to ignore. while we're out there, we can also peer over at the slumlords' and wonder why they are exempt from this bs.
