The cameras at the gates take the pictures of those running them down, but TV has to ask for help in IDs due to lack of facial recognition

Absolutely agree.

They finally picked up the debris in our area about a week ago and at least three residents dumped their debris at our postal station and there it sits.

People will always take their own action if the government does not respond. Not selfish, just fed up.

Dumping their sh!t at a rec center is not an action people should take. I get fed up with the traffic signal at 466a and Morse but I'm not going to take action and shoot it down.

What people should do and what they do is open to opinion. People expect services when they pay their taxes. If you just lay back and expect nothing, nothing will happen.

There is truth in what you say. Now what divides the good from the bad, the intelligent from the obtuse, creator from the de-constructor, lawful from the unlawful, etc is common sense, common decency, fairness, honesty, integrity, consideration and moral character.

Thank goodness all of the storm debris is pretty close to being removed.
Now TOTV’rs can move on to a new area of complaint!
And I wouldn’t think of placing any bags anywhere, but on
my own property.
