"Journal Times editorial: Racine, let the tire planter stay"

See: http://www.jtirregulars.com/2015/07/city-of-racine-says-northwesternstate.html

From The Journal Times.com:

"There are some properties with tires in heaps. There are some tires thrown into abandoned fields and alleyways.

"Then, on State Street in Racine, there is one large tire painted pink and purple, lined with flowers inside of it and a tall planter in the middle.

"That one painted tire is now at the center of a debate about what area residents are allowed to do with abandoned tires. The city is telling the property owner to get rid of the tire planter.

"She appealed to the City Plan Commission but was denied."

The pettiness of the City of Racine can't be overestimated.

I agree. There are more important fish to fry. To me, this sounds like some bureaucrate trying to make a name for him/herself.

I wonder if there is an ordinance that needs to be revisited? I agree there are so many other things that should precede this. Maybe our city administrator needed something to justify his raise? Hmmm. Crap.

People usually dump tires a couple times a year in the alley on my property and every time they mysteriously disappear.
