#1 There's one mayor who doesn't need to bother runnung again.

#2 Either that, or someone got their knickers in a twist over someone who lives there, and decided to "spread the joy" to everyone else in a lame attempt to CYA.

Hope they all get challenged in court.

#3 Councilman D. Michael Collins, whose district includes the homes where the tickets were issued, said he would make certain that the homeowners do not have to pay the $25 fine.

"I would hope the city would realize this was an exercise in insanity and rescind the tickets," Mr. Collins said. "Those who work for the mayor, it is like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, where those who are all insane flock together."

Mr. Collins said Ms. Frederick went on to private property and wrote the tickets without any authority. "The people ticketed would have to pay $50 to appeal a $25 ticket to a board that does not exist," Mr. Collins said.

He promised to pay the fines himself if they are not rescinded.

#4 OTOH, cities in SoCal have similar ordinances designed to prevent multiple families (read illegal aliens) living in one house. I suspect the problem in Ohio is more with poor white trash than illegal aliens and there might be some dispute about the definition of driveway but when they start parking on lawns it really does affect the property values of neighboring houses.

#5 Property values?

Sounds like a civil tort to me. Why's the city getting involved? Do they own property nearby?

#6 This Mayor and ineffectual Council have made news before. It's clearly a case of Carty Finkbeiner syndrome. Beatings are in order

#7 So why doesn't the council just repeal the law? If they are united, they should be able to override the mayor's veto (assuming they have a veto/override in Toledo.)
