Mayor again considering by-law re:mowing boulevards
6/29/2009 at 8:52 AM
in yesterday's Brandon Sun, it seems our Mayor might be prepared to have another go at this with a warning letter going out to people when the grass is at 10cm followed (eventually) by the city mowing it & adding the cost to homeowners taxes. My personal opinion is: that's just wrong. The boulevard's belong to the city. If they feel THAT strongly about it, then take $5.00 OFF our taxes for mowing it. After all, we pay to take excess garbage to the landfill. Don't get me wrong: I mow mine just because I like it all to look neat & tidy but there are lots of businesses where the city does the mowing - Park Ave E. is a good example.
