This story is four weeks old. The City of Oak Park backed down and apologized to the woman.
I live in the Detroit area and am very familiar with this. It’s over!
Nothing like national attention and ridicule to smack a little sense into an idiot official, at least sometimes.
I saw a picture of her garden when I first saw the story, and it looked very neat and attractive. While a vegetable garden in the front yard might be uncommon, I didn't see a thing wrong with hers!
Not according to the link at post #7:
On Thursday, prosecutor Eugene Lumberg told The Detroit News that he plans to take a closer look at the issue.
"I want to look at it, I want to see the facts, I want to see where this vegetable garden is going and make a determination of whether or not to prosecute under the existing ordinance, write a new ordinance and (examine) the public welfare," Lumberg said.
Seems like they might write a new law to make it illegal.
