Ed, try this conspiracy theory in Hamilton. Mayor Benci has pledged to target township taxpayers who don’t cut their grass. Before becoming mayor he owned a lawn service. Wonder if he made a deal with his then-competitors: “You support me for mayor, and once elected I will enforce all laws dealing with uncut grass. This will eventually get all of you more business.” I wouldn’t put anything past Benci.
