The borough council had a meeting tonight. I am not one of their favorite people right not. They introduced an ordinance that discriminates against apartment renters and has some very heavy fines for the owners and tenants if they do not comply. The gathered throng there was completely against the ordinance but the board members all property owners voted it in anyway.
We read parts of the fourth and eight amendment of the Constitution which the law specifically violates but they in typical Bush administration fashion they do not think the law applies to them.
At the end of the meeting I started collecting signatures to file with the ACLU who said if they get enough interest they will take the case. By the end of tomorrow we should have enough of them.
They seem to believe that they are above the law.
Other parts I have trouble with is they borough can come into any renters dwelling without notice for health and safety reasons. I said that if they were so worried about the health and safety of the residents why not have it apply to the property owners as well. I asked how many of the council member would allow that in their home, no one said they would.
I finally said that they feel that renters do not vote, however since none of them won by a large margin, the 150 renters and voters in this complex if we so decide could change the council.
I also was unhappy as after the health and safety inspections were carried out, our name, addresses, phone number and email address would be collected and be available for public inspection. I wonder if they found perhaps an illegal substance while checking the plumbing what would happen, they would probably put it in a report to council and the president of council has a day job, Chief of Police.
