Godlove Yard Fight Ends With Personal Taste Ruling
Marion council will not force the Godlove family to alter their private yard at 2425 lth Ave saying no ordinance violation exists and it is a matter of personal taste. A citizens petition had urged yard cutting but council favors complaint based action and keeping property rights. The meeting also discussed broadcasting council meetings on cable TV with cost concerns for taxpayers.
