Here we go again, the lack of Constitutional knowledge of our city legislators. The latest proposal to the city charter could be a possible violation of the 5th, 10th and 14 amendment of the US Constitution;

In order to get property owners who rent to register with the city, they are threatening inspections to those who do not comply to registration at the Land Use Committee.

Searches and seizures of private property IS legal, with a warrant and suspicion of criminal activity. This must be issued by a JUDGE, and the search conducted by law enforcement.

In other words, if you see a property that has these kind of things going on, CALL 911! Not the health department or code enforcement.

While I don’t have an issue with ASKING renters to register with the city, if they DON’T, that is no reason to treat them like criminals, as long as they are paying the appropriate taxes on revenue from the rentals.

So ridiculous! This is like Civics 101 for 1st Graders.

  2. The only way to escape ridiculous city ordinances is when you’re home. Inside city limits is North Korea. Renters can barely afford living here. They don’t need harassment from a city councilor SWAT team. This is just something to justify illegal search. It’s like being stopped for seat belt but it’s an army of cops and dogs. They’re looking for crumbs of pot (prior owner) so they can take your cash, auction your car, and fine you 5 figures.
    Sup with Erpenbach? Even senile seniors are somewhat sensible. It’s a good thing councilors get vetoed by Strong Mayor. They’re meant to take the blame for Huether. He’s fascist, they’re his fan club.

  3. It’s not BOOMTOWN when cubicle and fast food slaves must live out of town.

  4. How many councilors does it take to screw in a lightbulb. You better go buy a flashlight.
