I enjoy reading about Tontitown city government. Who needs cartoons?

So sorry we have lost another native really interested in the good of our community. How long will it take for this council to remove themselves from Mick Wagner's back pocket. Or will he be allowed to take down every famly left?

Let's see if I understand this: the mayor is having the code compliance officers to ask the violators to comply and if they don't then they get citations. That seems fair instead of having the heavy hammer of the law come down on the violators, some who might not even realize they are in violation. Can't blame the mayor if he doesn't want any part of the FORCE system. Whatever happened to getting along with your neighbors? Wagner must be from Rogers.
