If Nothing Else, It Just Makes Good Business Sense!

If the City of Huntington would begin enforcing littering laws, the income from fines would be significant. Why does our city government not consider enforcement as a revenue stream that is easily tapped?

My wife told me yesterday that a friend-of-a-friend was in Elkins, WV, last week and, without thinking, dropped a chewing gum wrapper on the sidewalk. She was issued a citation and paid a fine of $350. They even set her up to pay the fine in installments, as she did not have the money to pay it immediately.

Why not do the same thing in Huntington? If nothing else, it just makes good business sense.
