Let us just create more entitlement attitudes. You do it once and it will be expected form this day on.
Just to be clear, it is not free. Someone is picking up the tab, and that would be the taxpayers.
Looking at the map I notice that the residents on the north side of Quintette east of 29 are left out of this free program. Why is this the case? Is this area trying to be cleaned up all of a sudden to appeal to the potential new industry that might be moving to the area?
We never had a county crew come in to clean up our neighborhood… OH! We throw away our trash and keep our yards clean. It is called being a responsible adult and respect for our neighbors… js.
And in six months it will look like this all over again, until individuals take pride with their own property it will remain the same.
Hopefully, during this cleanup the county will also remove all those advertising snipe signs that have been planted along the right of ways. The District 2 Commissioner has a weekly removal of these signs that are littering the roadways in that district. But,, for some reason, the District 5 Commissioner has chosen to ignore this type of litter that plagues our area.
