I will be in the Lower Ninth Ward August 28th and 29th to clear debris and mow the weeds with my John Deere Tractor that are being threatened with seizer via the New Orleans “Good Neighbor Plan” http://www.cityofno.com/portal.aspx?tabid=72.
If any of you would like to help. Bring your weed eaters and mowers to Tennessee St. in the Lower Ninth Ward drive toward the lake. You will see the big green tractor clearing lots of the remaining debris. I’ll show you witch lots we are cleared and ready to be working on. While the city is fining property owners for not cutting their grass, regardless of the fact that they are either living in another state because they have been systematically prevented from returning or physically unable to do the work. Still, the city is not doing anything to mitigate the health risks the residence who have returned face from mosquitoes and rats the bread in these conditions. Nor do they keep the properties they already have under control. So why are they trying to take over more property? Certainly not to reduce the blight or the health risks to the residence.
I’m going to be there to demonstrate how a few people can make a real difference, and that the community can rebuild if only we pull together our resources and spend a little time to be a Good Neighbor!
