No good deed goes unpunished.

Some men just can't stand unkept grass. My husband is one of them.

[SengirV]

Yet other local Governments are asking you TO mow grass in public parks, etc...

[Lockbar]

How dare he make the city look bad and incompetent!!

[Abathar]

Sounds about right.

I bet the city groundskeepers are union and threw a fit when they heard about it.

I going nuts right now thinking about my lawn’s extreme height (3.5 inches before I left for work...)

Government to citizen: "How DARE you volunteer your time to improve the community - WE own the MONOPOLY on that!"

They should give him a medal for actually giving a %$#@ for his community.

There was crab grass growing over a side walk near where I lived, nature had taken it over. I kicked it all up and reclaimed the side walk for humanity, lucky a cop didn’t see.

sounds like the taxpayers could save money there

In Columbus, they are threatening to lay off 300 policemen and 250 firemen unless they get an increase on the income tax. Nothing has been said about the layabouts in city hall and the people who sweep the sidewalks around the State Capitol building.

Has anyone else noticed that even the smallest infractions (like this was even an infraction) are being punished with being arrested now. It used to be when I was a kid, cops lectured people on certain things.

[Star Traveler]

In Tulsa, OK, officials ask the citizens to help the city out... LOL...

[VicVega]

Meddling in local government business? Hang him. Maybe it was the local Obama Youth Squad that turned him in.

[Califreak]

Where’s that pic of Forrest Gump cutting the grass?

[PGR88]

Hey Buddy - that’s a UNION job! How dare you do it for free!

[Bokababe]

Well, the City made it pretty clear, now didn't they? It isn't OUR grass, it's THEIR grass to do with as they see fit -- with our tax dollars supporting their lazy bureaucratic butts, of course.

This poor man got caught in a literal "turf war" and forgot who was boss!

[M203M4]

Same deal when some folks try to clean and paint their moldy office walls, replace burnt out bulbs in a stairwell, prune a deadly tree branch (like one protruding into traffic), etc. You are attacked as a “scab” taking work away from a union employee. Complaints to the relevant authority will be used as grounds to justify increased staffing levels.

Mowing grass in park bad. Smoking grass in park good.
