A couple who have lived in Miami Shores for over 17 years is suing the city after being threatened with steep fines for the way they keep their front yard. The trouble came after Miami Shores changed its zoning laws two years ago and insisted Hermine Ricketts and her husband Tom Carroll remove their vegetable garden. The city was serious, threatening a $50 per day fine.
That’s what forced the couple to file suit. Watch the video, learn how much they are suing for and see the vegetable garden the city insisted they rip up on the NEXT PAGE:
SO the city changed it’s by-laws…too bad…they were doing this LONG before that. The city better get smart and ‘grandfather’ their garden.
We don’t live in a free country anymore
There is no justification for interfering in a person’s right to grow a garden.
More BS
watch out everyone they will be coming for you next
I think some narrow minded neighbor has a lot of pull. Whoever it is needs to be put in their place and get a life!
When I look at their front yard garden I see ‘life’..
That doesn’t just happen there it happens all over the country. KEEP YOUR YARD CLEAN!
Leave them alone.
good luck with that, look at his voting record, it speaks for itself http://www.heritageactionscorecard.com/members/member/S000148
