Skat At The Kat: Day 4

Why am I the only media person talking about the dogshit problem in Plattsburgh?

This winter I noticed more sidewalks are shoveled free of snow, due in part to the city making the public aware through the media about the fines for unshoveled sidewalks. Why doesn’t the city start an awareness campaign explaining that dog-owners have to pick up after their pets or be fined? I’d like to post other things at this blog besides the umpteenth image of dogshit on a city sidewalk.

In the meantime, doesn’t the city employ people to clean up downtown? That’s one reason why citizens and businesses pay taxes, to maintain municipal property for the public good.
