[Summit] lights left on all night

Mon Nov 5 19:39:24 UTC 2012

I asked Kevin Jackson to get a lot here on Western St cleared LAST  
Februrary. There were tires, a matress, tons of junk just sitting  
there. Amazing thing is it is directly across the street from the  
house he supposedly "lives" in on Jenkins. I rarely see his car there.  
(anyone know the residency requirements for local reps?)
Anyhow, he has done nothing and had the nerve to be rude to me when I  
called to ask him when I could expect at least a pogress report.  
(anyone famiar w the Lean and Clean law!)
It's insane. Help!
