Man Reprimanded By City Officals For Cleaning Up Trash
Hydn Rousseau was so tired of all the trash and crime in his Florida neighborhood that he finally took matters into his own hands. He organized a cleanup effort."I saw debris and trash everywhere and I said I have to come back home and make a difference in my community," stated Rousseau.
Last Saturday, he organized a neighborhood cleanup with 50 volunteers. The team cleaned several lots of dangerous trash, including needles and buckets of debris.
What did he get for all his hard work? He got a reprimand from the mayor and city attorney. Apparently they aren't happy that Rousseau didn't follow proper procedures.

This happened to a boy scout a few years ago.

You can't just let the average citizen go running about willy-nilly cleaning up trash. Next thing they'll be painting over graffiti and trimming overgrown landscape areas. It'll lead to anarchy!

Florida... it figures. That's one bass-ackwards state.
