So an old rumor on how the complaints started was, a new person at a certain village, had a display of statues and a cross, on their front lawn. It was mentioned that it was not allowed and should be removed, unless it was durning the holiday season.
Complaint was sent and said items had to be removed in x amount of days or a fine would be enforced.

That person in turn decided to make it her life’s mission to report everyone she could find as a get even for having to remove her lawn ornaments.
If true they do a great job, most time there are 65 to over a hundred complaints turned in by the same person(s), in different villages.
Some districts have made changes to the process that a name of complaints made public no longer anonymous.

By theory if a complaints turned in had a fee of say $5 each, you would see a drastic decline to the some call clipboard lady. Again this is a said rumor, but there is someone out there diving in a village today filing out complaints on village residents

Why should people pay a fee when YOU are the one breaking with the rules? Maybe the penalty should be paid by the people who do not follow the rules. That would certainly stop people from putting all the junk on their front lawns. Put it in your back yard!
