Fined $500 Per Day!

Today half of our group traveled to the Lower 9th Ward to clear away a vacant lot. A recent local ordinance fines homeowners up to $500 per day for letting their property become a public eyesore. The group (which didn't include Bob or Terry) used machetes, lawnmowers, pruners, rakes, and weed wackers to prepare the property for tomorrow's inspection. Our volunteer efforts kept money in the pocket of a displaced New Orleanian!
