A federal court has upheld a Florida city's decision to issue nearly $30,000 in code violation fines to a homeowner whose grass was overgrown.

Following a two-year legal battle, a judge from the Middle District of Florida ruled this week that Jim Ficken, 71, will have to pay the fines to the city of Dunedin, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

You said the Election Day the constitution died. But this began in 2015. Wasn’t the constitution dead in 2015 since this started then? The trump years constitution dead?

Honestly this whole thing was preventable if he just hired a company to do the grass cutting. When the guy off the street died, he should have called someone....anyone to cut the grass. I think he’s one of those obstinate types. Don’t tell me what to do. Ha. I guess they quit telling him what to do and just fined him. No use fighting stupid.
