Green grass requirement

Re: your July 26 article, “By law, the grass must be greener”:

I read the article with amusement. I contacted the city a few months ago, when I wanted to put something other than grass in the parking strip in front of my home. I was told it had to be grass.

This is such a laugh, as I can drive around my neighborhood and find the parking strips filled with stepping stones and shrubs, completely cemented in, full of ivy and various other kinds of landscaping.

If this law is going to be enforced for Richard Tuten, who was featured in the article, it needs to be enforced for everyone.

Actually we're winning. The Lib's have spent all the money and are running out of freebies and other peoples money to give away. Municipal bankrutcpies are on the rise, so there won't be money for non essential "services" like code enforcment environmental czars and other wastes. We are winning.
