Laws like this are outrageous. Colorado had passed laws making it illegal to collect rainwater off of your roof and Florida arrested an old veteran for giving food to the homeless.
What the hell is wrong with this country? Don't they have better things to do?
Your post is well written and researched and highlights the absurdity of the state sometimes. No one even complained after so many years and the state had a problem.with it. Crazy! And where do they get off making it a law to have to grow.grass in your front yard. Laws like this make me into an outlaw by default.
