Viewing a problem from a distance …
Thursday, November 12th, 2009
Barking dogs and roaming cats have caused headaches for Mayors ever since there has been dogs and cats and Mayors. Ask any Mayor.
It’s not quite Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds,” but former Mannington Mayor Frank White says he’s had enough of the winged creatures for a long time. White said his neighbor, City Councilman Jeff Michael, has been providing a regular smorgasbord for birds, with seed, bread and even French fries.
As a result, White said there are up to 60 birds at a time on his property. He said most of the birds are pigeons, which he calls a nuisance.
He’s asked the city to intervene, but current Mayor Bob Garcia said he’s not sure exactly what powers Mannington has in the situation.
So, we have a former Mayor complaining to the present Mayor about a Councilman feeding the birds.
I love these kind of stories.
Since I’m not involved.
