HJ: Citizens Complain Re: Everything

I’ve always been amazed by the little things people choose to battle in this town. Yet no one makes any noise about illegally parked cars, overgrown shrubs on sidewalks, blocked vision at intersections and other hazards. Citizen complaints can work if they are used to the benefit the entire town more than the individual. All of these examples point to a trend wherein Moscow’s “citizen activism” sometimes crosses into a type of de facto citizen government. Despite the delusion of many in our town that we are a direct democracy, it is important to point out that we are not. We elect a mayor and City Council to hire qualified city administrators and to appoint qualified individuals to city commissions. Every so often neighborhood level problems may need to be reviewed by the council but not in the volume or frequency they have been in the past/ Henry Johnston , Moscow-Pullman Daily News.

Question: If you were king of your community, which one law that isn’t on the books now would you force on your community?
