When the Council attended a regional meeting last month with the Association of Cities and Towns, they heard that the number one problem in most of the towns is abandoned vehicles.
At the last regular Town Council meeting, the Council voted to direct the Police Chief to implement the abandoned vehicle laws. I understand there are over 100 cars, trucks, etc. that need to be hauled off or licensed or repaired or some combination along those lines. I recall that Don Sublett wanted to personally tag vehicles over a year ago, but of course, that is not something a civilian should do. Some people are attached to their junk.
Apparently, the police are reluctant to enforce the laws and there will be another special meeting this Wednesday to address the issue.
Cars are a good start. Then get the yards and porches cleaned up.
