Tyranny of the petty bureaucrats. Those with the least amount of power seem to wield it without mercy.

You make a valid point. It might be helpful in the situation where a homeowner doesn’t get their home back in order and creates a danger.

I think though waiving notice of penalties and fines for a certain time period so people can gather themselves, find a contractor, insurance claims. If you fixed it yourself, might jeopardize a claim. Or you might be in the hospital from the hurricane.

Seems a bit overzealous to fine folks. Nothing wrong with telling them to not pose a public danger.

It helps conservatives to highlight stories where government overreaches.

We (should be) the party of small government. More people are annoyed with government the more likely they are to vote Republican.

You saved it for me?

You racked your shriveled wit, trying to cobble together more than six words and come up with something clever, and look.....you failed.

You failed miserably.

Typical. Don’t bust looters just tax paying home owners.

These were citations—reminders that people are legally obligated to fix their fences that expose their pools.

AFAIK, not one person was assessed or given a fine.

Whether this was the right TIME to do it is debatable, but code enforcement wasn’t out beating people over the head. They were trying to make sure folks were aware of a danger to the property.

But 8 years isn’t enough time to at least impeach an apparently-,illegal immigrant and enemy agent occupying our White House

A “citation” usually implies some penalty is already in place. If I receive a “citation” driving, I can expect to either pay a fine or appear in court.

If it’s just a notice to fix things... what’s the time frame? Can they find a contractor? Have they gotten an insurance claim filed first?

I’d like to see someone from the country appear and explain.

“Nuttin but Overblown bullshit.”

You’re pretty mouthy about this story. Got any proof this is not real since there story checks out on local news??

I think you just are a petulant idiot about 15 years old and wanted to proclaim “fake news”.

Depends on what the citation is for. Around here, if it’s for something mechanical, such as a burned out headlight, the citation is dismissed upon showing proof of repair within a week (maybe longer - I’m not sure).

This is a similar situation.

The official told Perez that the downed fence—which encloses a pool—was a safety hazard...


Maybe the inspector will have an accident and drown in the pool.

Well, you know, this is south Florida. People disappear all the time. The one’s they find chopped up in barrels are meant to send a message.
