Comments

Waldo Jaquith writes:

About damned time. Every single year there are a few bills introduced giving yet another locality permission to regulate the cutting of grass and weeds (e.g., HB170). Let's just be done with it.

Bob Lindsey writes:

HB-177 would impose an unwarranted expense on rural county governments and taxpayers.
