The nuisance ordinance is starting to take life, again. It is a touchy subject and the ordinance garners a lot of discussion in the Saratoga Sun office.
There are lots of arguments for or against the ordinance and its enforcement.
We are a town that depends on tourism, especially in the summer. Many of our business owners depend on tourism to supplement their businesses the rest of the year.
Should concerned residents who think the town looks “trashy” be able to tell other residents what they should do to their property to make it look more presentable?
Saratoga resident Don Sherrod has taken on the job of working to clean up the town – he has found himself in an unpopular position.
On the other side of the coin, why should a person who has pride in their property have to put up with a neighbor who either refuses to mow their lawn or clean up their yard?
The American motto is “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness” or “Don’t tell me how to live my life”.
We don’t have the answer, mainly because we don’t agree with each other. But, if you have an opinion about the nuisance ordinance we recommend you have your voice heard – either at the Saratoga Town Council meeting on June 16, or by writing a letter to the editor in the Saratoga Sun.
