Sounds about right.

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

Connecticut has no citizens highway trash pickup like Adopt-a-Highway, because the Teamsters Union won't let them. No prisoners doing it either.

According to a police report, a witness said Hamilton was blowing grass onto the sidewalk and shredding trash in the park that had not been picked up. Police said they arrested the 48-year-old Hamilton after he refused to stop mowing and charged him with obstructing official business and disorderly conduct.

Exactly.

Years back when responsible for the scoreboards at Yankee Stadium, I nearly caused the postponement of a playoff game because I replaced a few lightbulbs while the "electricians" were resting in the bleachers and gametime was rapidly approaching.

Ya think that the union guys could at least show up and watch him mow the lawn.

That’s the least that they could do.
