Our city government gives out corporate welfare in the form of TIFs and other largess freely.
Our city government just gives out a hard time to the citizenry.
The recent insult to Kansas Citians: penalties for extra trash bags.
Want to piss-off a neighbor you don't like? Pile extra bags of trash next to theirs when they ain't looking and see them get fined.
Oh- never mind the extra bags ain't THEIRS- now that burden of proof falls on the poor schmuck's house the bags appeared in front of.
Better yet- if you have extra trash- do as so many others seem to do- dump it along the side of ANY roadway.
There was one such bag dumped in the 4200-4400 block of East 87th Street recently- just west of the Southland Public Works facility.
That bag has sat for nearly a week now- untouched by Human hands- but not untouched by wildlife which has torn the bag open and scattered the ugly contents.
In fact- the Southland is turning into one big trash dump- Swope Park included. Want photographic proof? I can provide it in fourplicate squared.
Are these new extra trash bag fines going applied to picking up illegally dumped trash in our increasingly-trashy city?
HaHa!
