Litter Abatement Not Working... Anywhere

What the hell is wrong with people in this town? Litter, litter everywhere. I know, not a sexy or interesting topic to most, but Peoria is dirty, and not in a good way.

The Southside and East Bluff have long been strewn with trash, but now drive along Northmoor Road, along Donovan Golf Course. Yes, North Peorians apparently feel no shame in throwing their crap out of their car windows either. Assuming, I guess, that some magic fairy dust will later be sprinkled and it will all disappear.

Lets go Singapore on these idiots and start flogging them. Better yet, instead of wasting money on litter abatement teams (which really reward for bad behavior), lets actually set up a sting for a few of these self absorbed scum and fine the heck out of them. (Hey City Council, a viable money making idea here...) There could be a column in The (otherwise useless) Journal Star similar to the restaurant scores they currently publish. Lets slap a picture up too. There are fines for littering in this town, pricey ones too... It would be interesting to know if anyone has actually ever had to pay one.
