A slippery slope in your backyard?

Since we’re now coming into your backyard to nose around, how about we check what’s in your storage building? There’s no need to protest unless you have something to hide, you know.

Council mulls backyard upkeep

Let’s hope that Martinsville’s City Council “digests” this proposal and craps it right out.

I can’t anything possibly going wrong with overworked city staff making a Top 10 list of “shabby” backyards and presenting the list the council who’ll pick the Lucky Four to be harassed by the city. Meanwhile, Martinsville City Attorney Eric Monday can compare the size of his “big stick” with other people in the locker room to make himself proud.

Since we don’t have a specific legal definition of “shabby” in this plan, I’m guessing it will be anybody who’s still got one of those lawnchairs that uses webbing for support. You know, the kind that ripped when Uncle Fred tried to park his fat ass in it? OK… this proposed enforcement effort may have some potential after all.

Not. This is horsecrap. How about Martinsville City Council getting off their own asses and working those asses off in any way possible for economic development and jobs instead of considering city workers around to peek in people’s backyards?
