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.
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.

"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.

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!
