Brother's Keeper

A very important ordinance vote is pending the City Council of Connellsville, PA  next week.

It’s a new rental housing code. Among the good ideas is this …

The ordinance states that “the owner shall be directly responsible for the behavior of occupants and guests in the common areas as if the owner were an occupant. The failure of the owner to regulate behavior of occupants and guests in the common areas that results in (fighting, threatening or other violent behavior, making unreasonable noise or creating a hazard or physically offensive condition) shall be in violation of this ordinance.”

Also…

Tenants who caused problems could be forbidden to rent within Connellsville for a year.

They actually want to force people to leave town.

I can hear the police (or the Mayor or whoever) say … “You have until sunrise to get out of  town.”

Do you think the ACLU might get involved in this one?
