Just to clarify, there is currently NOT a tenant registry - only talk of the possibility of creating one.

There is NOT a crime free housing ordinance - only a voluntary program that the police department is in the process of implementing.

There is NOT a need to have a rental ordinance in place to implement the crime free housing program.

The votes were 7 - 5 against the rental ordinance as it stands, but if the city implements a tenant registry, then it is an overwhelming 11-1 in favor of the ordinance.

Hope this helps clear some misconception.

The road still has not been repaired. A temporary repair would take about 2 days and cost about $5000 -(totally unscientific methods were used in these calculations).

This road could have been repaired before these people were injured in it.

Was the first responder who drove into it also drunk? Doubtful.

I hope the county board doesn't wait until they can budget the entire $500,000 plus for the amazing repair that they have in mind before they do something about it.

The biggest mistake that the City officials are making is that they are so focused on beating the few bad property owners into submission that they are ignoring the wants, needs, and pleas of the good business people in the community.
This is not a good healthy attitude and it definitely does not promote growth and prosperity in our community.

Paul Stieler says that they can do all of the inspections with the people who they already are paying wages to without any additional wages needed. If they have that much free time on their hands, why do they not focus on the sub-standard housing and enforce the laws that are already in place and leave the good landlords at peace?

The answer? Money!
