Take a look

Endicott residents, take a good look at your town. Almost half of our town is an ordinance nightmare. Most of these places have multiple infractions. These offenses are demeaning and dangerous to your town and the other half of the residents who keep their homes, land, and vehicles, “by choice” looking great.

No pride in town appearance. No pride in their homes and land. No respect for their neighbor’s property value. No respect for themselves. No compliance for town ordinances or codes.

Weeds, rubbish-debris, junk vehicles and parts thereof, clutter of junk in yards and on sidewalks-public property, houses and buildings collapsing, dangerous and useless, garbage bags, boxes, and common trash piled in yards and more.

All these problems are unsightly and unwanted. They are extreme fire dangers and have health issues. They invite rodents and other critters to live in town. Spreading disease and pestilence.

These problems are growing. If allowed to continue, we will have health issues and other problems. We will not grow with new people and businesses. We will become a ghost town. A place where only the rodents, drug dealers and criminals will reside.

Time to take a stand. Be interactive with your community. Attend council meetings. Bring your ideas and complaints. Be heard. Take some photos of problem areas. Fill out, sign and file complaints. Be prepared to take part in “active legal action” alongside of the town’s governing officials.

The Judicial system will have to help us. But only if we take a strong, united stand.

Choose to make our community better, cleaner, and stronger. Everyone will benefit and prosper.

Councilman Daniel Sinclair,

Endicott
