Ken Hedler's council report is pretty good considering the eye-glazing meeting he had to sit through to get it.
Kids used to use chalk for graffiti, now they use spray paint and expensive markers. Hint: that's because their parents give them money.
For readers of the Daily Courier in Prescott, Arizona. Comment and discuss. Be nice, now.

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:
There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.
If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.
If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
dang parents..giving their kids money . we'll just have to put a stop to THAT..... but seriously kudos to the reporter on a good job ..steve please consider giving this person 2 cookies one for the story one for sitting through that meeting.
ReplyDeleteKen is very, very good at patiently sifting though a meeting to get to the story. Always admired him for that.
ReplyDeleteHere's two ideas:
1 - if we require businesses/home-owners to police up the graffiti on their property,won't that make them more attuned to prevention practices?
2 - here's a tax and spend approach - make a tax on marking item, use the tax to fund remediation.
'course, not all markers are from the area, but, somehow I don't see grafitistas as super motivated to avoid the tarrif and drive to another municipality to load up.
