What IS this AmeriCorps beast, anyhow?
I’d like to know the lowdown on it. Not what they say they are or even what Wikipedia says it is.
Part of the reason is, it’s personal. I’ve been Barney Fifed for three years over yard grass height and other vegetation disputes by an occifer in my township who uses an AmeriCorps letterhead. When they threatened me last week “THERE WILL BE NO MORE WARNINGS” I decided this means war. The stupid ordinance they’re using literally calls for the removal, jackbooted if necessary, of ALL plants higher than eight inches — yup, no exceptions for landscaping or trees etc. by the “letter of the law” which Mr. Fife told me he was going to “follow.” But it also requires notice from the township, something they just can’t skip if they’re tired of dealing with me.
I don’t know much besides what I’ve seen on Fox or Glenn Beck. Its my understanding they are a govt funded community organizer group pushing a liberal agenda. Not much different than Acorn or SEIU.
I feel for ya on the grass height thing. It can be tough to fight those because nobody except the victim cares until its their turn.
Let them come in and cut everything over 8 inches off. Sounds like a good way to have them pay for new landscaping. They’ll probably bring a sheriff and charge you for the work to cut everything.
