Nuisance Ordinance Team (NOT)

Today, the City Dictator replied to Dianne Williamson's Sunday column. Her column on Sunday was a letter concerning someone being cited for raking leaves into the street "too early" in Worcester, ...which left me speechless.

Today, after reading the City Dictator's response, I'm truly amazed.

Here, for example, is an amazing quote, "We allow residents to bag their leaves and bring them to our three yard waste sites..."

Thank you, Mr. City Dictator, for ALLOWING us to bag our leaves and bring them to a yard waste site.

Here's another one, "The Nuisance Ordinance Team traverses the city weekly, one day behind the trash route, enforcing existing city ordinances..."

Really? How many goldbricks get to run around every week on this cherry job? They've been doing it since March? How did they manage to miss the condition of the city sidewalk on Davis Street in all this time?

Maybe they can re-name the Nuisance Ordinance Team (NOT) to the Special Nuisance Ordinance Team (SNOT), then at least they'd be aptly named.

Jeff, did you send anything to the DPW on Davis Street?

The complaint people are good about that stuff, usually.

There's still an open work order from June to take care of a nine inch thick tree limb hanging over the street across from my driveway. Delivery trucks, vans, etc. all whack it. It's all scarred up with hits...

as was mentioned in the first article - most of the leaves that fall in my yard are from city owned trees, on city property. Yet I am required to rake them. The same holds for many other citizens. Maybe the city should start raking their own leaves?
