In her Viewpoint commentary "Talking about Littering"
by Mary Lynne Dahl on March 08, 2004, Monday last, the comment
is made that:
"Although I am delighted to see his opinion, I don't agree
entirely with Pete Ellis that we are lacking in enforcement,
as I believe Officer Cegelske is doing a fine job, without much
help, and I thank him for it."
What the foregoing clearly illustrates is that there is an enforcement
problem in terms of Cegelske being given the full responsibility
and apparently the obligation to clean up the entire Gateway
Borough litter problem. The problem is far greater than one
person can handle and the problem is really minimal to non-existent
enforcement.
Perhaps Mary or someone else could be enticed into doing some
further research as to the extent of littering violations issued
during 2003 and by whom. Likewise appropriate would be an analysis
of convictions, fines imposed and judgment obligation completion.
