South Saint Paul will throw you in jail for not painting <br /> your stucco house the color they want(never mind that you shouldn't even paint stucco <br /> in most cases). And not just 5 days,either. <br /> I have no problem with city ordinances requiring certain standards of order and <br /> maintenance for yards,homes,buildings,etc. But those are civil ordinances,not <br /> criminal code for crimes with victims. Never should any American be thrown in jail for <br /> such a thing. It's tyranny and IMHO unconstitutional. Fines or fees for cleanup,and <br /> when unpaid,property tax levies,would appear to be the right way to handle such <br /> things. <br /> 3 Like Reply <br /> xxxwlllis Jul.22,14 <br /> @jeff7181west You guys are the folks wasting taxpayer dollars by stubbornly rAWY <br /> to comply with basic ordinances,common decency,and respect for your neighbors. <br /> Anyone familiar with the property knows it could have been handled quickly and easily <br /> years ago.But you had to try and"make a point"...a battle you were destined to lose <br /> because you were in dear violation. <br /> 11 Like Reply <br /> jeff7181west Jul.22,14 <br /> 7:18 PM <br /> Not in violation if no one can see it,sorry you are still paying Tax's, <br /> Sorry about you losing your job at the city. <br /> Like Reply <br /> cavell Jul.22,14 <br /> If u chop u junk into small chunks,u can get rid of almost anything.Garbage hauler will tak'e53 PM <br /> anything within reason.Guy sounds kinda stubborn. <br /> 17 • Like Reply <br /> jeff7181west Jul.22,14 <br /> 2:18 PM <br /> @cavell small chunks gets you only 21/2 days in jail,I guess that would of been fair? <br /> firewood should be banned. <br /> 2 Like Reply <br /> Powered by Livefyre <br /> inside the StarTribune <br /> news graphics,. home„ jobs r entertainments entertainment r lifestyle w <br /> Interactive map: Adversaries on what's 2014 Minnesota Top Download our summer Soundcheck: Best of Minnesota <br /> Finding best gas prices killing bees battle for Workplaces a-book thriller,'Savage Minnesota musicians 2014:Food,drink, <br /> in metro our hearts and minds Minnesota'l up close getaways,design and <br /> more <br /> *Raewb" Search the Star Tribe � <br /> News Local Sports Business Politics Opinion Lifestyle Entertainment Obituaries Classifieds Autos Housing Jobs <br /> http://www.startribune.com/local/blogs/267982061.html 7/29/2014 <br />
