A Michigan resident is facing up to 93 days in jail for planting a vegetable garden in her front yard, MyFoxDetroit.com reports.
Julie Bass, of Oak Park, Michigan was first given a warning followed by a ticket and now she is being charged with a misdemeanor for her simple front-yard garden.
"I think it's sad that the City of Oak Park that's already strapped for cash is paying a lot of money to have a prosecutor bothering us," Bass told FOX 2's Alexis Wiley.
socialism at it's best. As long as its maintained whats wrong with it, Just another example of an overpaid city employee with nothing better to do than bother someone.
ReplyDelete"Suitable plantings" are what their law calls for? What could be more suitable than a well-tended garden? If they had wanted to restrict the "plantings" to just non-edible, visually pleasing landscaping, then the code should have been written that way.
ReplyDelete7:39, how do you know they are overpaid? It probably started with a busy body neighbor complaining. 9 times out of 10, towns that enforce things like this only do it because of complaints from the whiny public.
