  1. Wasn't this Mayor Stewart's program, that Sherwood fought at every step?

    This should have been done years ago.. Too many blighted properties have been an eyesore over different parts of the city. Anyone against this clean and lien policy should be ashamed of themselves. If owners cannot take care of their properties, they should turn it over to the city, to fix up and sell.

  3. I hope the City will make every effort to make the properties that they own clean and free from blight. In the past many of city owned properties were the most unsightly.

    In like manner, I hope Ken Malinowski will make every effort to keep the properties owned by CCND clean and free from blight too. This was always a big issue in past years.

    If the City and CCND doesn't keep their own properties clean and free from blight, what example does that send to other property owners or doesn’t anyone care about city owned properties that are blighted?

    Don’t get me wrong, I am all for this initiative, but the City needs to practice what it preaches too!
