Dick Hyde is 100% accountable for this mess. He heads this city and this mess is in this city. He appointed the head of code. He tolerates the nepotistic hiring practices which causes this to happen. He is knowledgable of and tolerates a code enforcement policy that has manpower tied up attempting to get revenge on "ememies". He is knowledgable of and tolerates an employment policy that rewards and promotes workers who put up GOB political signs or steal political opponents signs instead of rewarding good job performance.
He is well aware of the litter and graffiti problems. I know this first hand because I have told him about it many times.
And finally, I know one thing for sure. If I were mayor I'd make sure, through any means necessary and within my authority, that this kind of thing would not be tolerable in MY city. If I couldn't accomplish that simple task I'd quit the next day and let someone else try. But no, we have someone who looks like "the cat that swallowed the canary" sittin in his office all day.
