GRRRRRRR!McKee defends his actions, saying that his own workers also take care of the land and that he has a policy of paying the city promptly for its services.
"The city's crews have for decades cut grass and weeds to the city's standards on vacant lots belonging to the city and scores of property owners," McKee's lawyer, Steven Stone, said in a statement.
Oh, so that makes the neglect of your client's properties OK. No harm no foul!
"Anybody can come into our city and buy property," Slay said recently. "We treat him, and we've been treating him, like we treat everybody else."
Does anybody
really believe this? Does anybody actually believe that you or I would be treated with the same kid gloves for not maintaining our property? Who knows, with all the lots and buildings that are neglected in this city, maybe we would! Mayor Slay can do a photo op at a downtown apartment building feigning concern for city residents and making it appear as if his administration is tough on property owners and all that, yet this kind of stuff is going on.
