When will Vallejo figure out that there is no incentive to stop this - without enforcement. Please change the disposition of not pursuing/fining violators. At some point we have to be fed up with that attitude. The City will have to put forth some effort with the City Attorney. The theory that it costs less to just have it cleaned by the City Grounds Crew as apposed to the legal costs of finding and fining violators is not working for the residents of Vallejo. It shouldn't just be law of the jungle out there. And as far as neighborhood volunteer cleanup that you have offered - what's my incentive to clean something up that won't stay that way. Offering free garbage bags to the neighborhood is not the answer we want to hear.
