"But, how can we cut the most visible services, keep the pork, and complain about budgets cuts if citizens try to help out?"
that’s a UNION GIG....it’s really gonna hit the fan now!
The city planted a tree in the park behind my house yesterday. I just sent them an e-mail asking it I could move it before it takes root since it’s right were we do Cub Scout games and play volleyball.
Usually my city is pretty good. I once got permission to have a dump truck drop 30 yards of topsoil in the park so I could re-landscape my yard. I tore ou the fence and rented a Bobcat. Ended up tearing up that park ground pretty good, but I made it like new and planted new seed.
They wonder why more people don’t like cops.
I suppose for community service they’ll make him mow the park.
The city I live near tells you what kind of grass to plant, when to water it, when to mow it, when to not mow it and also sends law enforcement officers around to measure the encroachment of grass, trees and bushes on “their” sidewalk, alleys and streets, which they also mandate you maintain to their exact specifications.
The poor little park workers felt intimidated...
I reckon he embarrased the city for not doing their job.
