<DIV>You are begging the question. It is a discriminatory law. You are defending it. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The idea of the young volunteers won't work because of lawyers. If a sidewalk is not shoveled properly, they can be sued by the person that slips. </DIV>

<DIV>The law requires property owners to take responsibility for their property. Nothing more. I don't find that objectionable. And if I suggested the "solution" you note below, you, Roger, and Crabtree would have called me a socialist!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Not that I have a problem with it. Why don't you try to do something about it, see if you can get the proper laws passed, the taxes raised? I'm pretty sure I couldn't get it done for the reason noted above! You seem to be able to get away with more so give it a go!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Until then why not see if we can get Tom's idea going, of setting up a group of young folks who can volunteer to remove snow for people in need? What ever happened to that idea?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>That's enough posts for tonight, folks! See you tomorrow! <BR><BR>Joe Campbell</DIV>

<DIV>It is unfortunate that you support a discriminatory law that requires persons of age and those with a disability to remove snow for the city.

<DIV>If they own a house they should have $5 to hire someone to shovel the sidewalk. If they are not property owners it is not their responsibility as far as I can tell from the document below.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It strikes me that your worry is purely hypothetical. If there really are folks who fall into some worrisome category - unable to walk homeowners who don't even have money to hire a kid to shovel - then give me their phone number and I'll make arrangements to do it myself. Like it or not it is their responsibility to take care of it. And they should do so.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I should add too that below is merely the notice of an existing law. I see no evidence that the law will be enforced any more than it has been. <BR><BR>Joe Campbell</DIV>
