If I could, I would...

Things I wish I could change or do something about in my town..

1. Stop the summer help that mows Ridge Cemetery, from hitting their weed eaters on headstones to get the string to come out. Very disrespectful.
2. Paint the crosswalks on the streets more than once a year.
3. Have the traffic lights stay green longer than 16 seconds on Main at Military.
4. Do something about the chicken coops in the yards of some Hispanic households.
5. Ban pit bulls and Rottweilers, or ban the people that own them.
6. Have the summer help that the City hires use an edger on the curbs. They mow the grass and let the weeds grow over the curb into the street. When it rains the water won't drain down the street, and it just looks unkept.
7. Don't let landlords let their houses sit empty for years. If they do and they let the property get run down, put a sign in the front yard stating who the landlord is. There are currently about 70+ abandoned homes now.
8. Send a letter to every home that doesn't have an address on the outside of their home, asking them to do so, if after you ask them nicely twice, and they still don't comply, get paint and brush and do it for them. It's a safety issue you know.
9. Have the inspector do something about the Hispanics adding on to their homes and trailer houses without permits. He won't allow my neighbor to add a half-assed addition to his house without a permit. Our respected home builders have to get permits. I'm just saying...
10. When the firemen have to go to City Hall for a meeting or they want to pick up a pizza, they drive the firetruck in case there is a fire while they are out, what do those trucks get, like 2 miles to the gallon? How can we make this situation better?
