Harassment

I am so sick of being harassed by the city of Oak Lawn.  They try to make money however they can by fining people for things that are irrelevant.  I pay my taxes and own my house so why can they tell me what I NEED to do??? They do not do things they should be doing for the community but can tell us what we should do with OUR property.  I am seriously outraged by the city and feel harassed.  You fix one thing and then they find something else wrong to fine you for.  Do what is needed to be done for the community, potholes, sidewalks cleared down the main streets and I don't know maybe making sure people are safe at the Chuck E Cheese or Kmart on 95th.  This is crazy!!!!  Oak Lawn is a city that takes advantage of it's loyal tax paying citizens that have lived in the city for generations.  I am so disgusted!!!
