Graffiti bylaw cheered by letter writer
This letter was written by my brother in response to the proposed by-law mentioned in the previous article. Unfortunately - or perhaps fortunately, the editors missed his sarcasm!
Graffiti bylaw cheered by letter writer
I would like to applaud city council for its bold new graffiti bylaw. While many will no doubt see this as a simple cash-grab aimed at punishing already victimized property owners, I see it as a bold step towards cleaning up this city. I am excited to know that within one week of passing this new bylaw our city's bridges, road signs, retaining walls, and yes, even the trees that line our walking trails and parks, will be graffiti free; after all, no self-respecting local politician (with dreams of being re-elected) would introduce such a bylaw without a plan to ensure the local and provincial government complies with it.
I can't imagine how the city will clean up all this public property within a week, but that's why I'm not in politics. What leadership we have!
