Much ado about nothing

Judge: City's landlord-tenant law 'may violate' due process.

We've been saying all along that the end result of this silly law is that we make criminals out of good citizens.

We are prosecuting citizens based on a law who's intent was to inform tenants of trash pickup, litter laws and code restrictions on the number of tenants. The intent might have been good, but is it really worth making criminals out of upstanding citizens to get it done? Just put a "public notice" in the paper advising them of the information and be done with it.

How much time do we need to spend on this? We have the Law Director spending time on this, we have 3 landlords having to spend time on this, now we've drug a Judge and his court into this mess. How much time and money do we have to spend in the courts to make sure someone knows when the trash pick -up is?

City Council could fix this, just get rid of the law. It serves no purpose that couldn't be handled in a less thuggish manner.
