Do you realize this law is discriminatory to both poor and elderly people? Who can’t afford or physically can’t cut their lawns? They are the only ones who will pay this fine.

It's not discriminatory. Everyone has to pay whose grass is too tall.

Do you believe the ordinance is good or not? Not the fine amount, just the ordinance - yes or no?

City needs money. Rather than raising the fines on people who break city ordinances, would you like taxes raised on everybody, instead?

The ordinance breakers pay more.
Everybody pays more.

Pick one, Dell. "None of the above" doesn't work. The city needs money. Bring some revenue-raisers to the table.

(PS - but nice to see you admit that "expensive things", like healthcare for instance, are "discriminatory" to those that "can't afford it", or can't physically be healthy and not need it)
