Do you think the Lyon County commissioners should give themselves a $2,500 pay increase?

OK, I read the article again and now see the reference to Mexico. Hard to believe that you could haul an old horse to Mexico and sell it for enough to pay for the fuel it would take to get it there ???

I was curious as to how this horse was saved from "slaughter" as the "slaughter" of horses has been outlawed in this country and there are no longer any slaughter houses ?? A recent article in the "Midwest Producer" said that abandonment of unwanted horses is becoming a real problem.

Yes, problems should be addressed by the landlords when they are brought to their attention. That's my point, the tenant needs to promptly bring the problem to his or her landlord to be resolved. In the vast majority of landlord tenant relationships that is all that is needed. The landlord wants and needs to know when there is a problem to be addressed. Problem solved, no City intervention needed. The tenant needs to show that they first attempted resolution with their landlord. The way this proposal is written up the tenant is advised to file a inspection request direct with them (the City.) They come out and see the problem and bill the landlord $100.00 for a violation and a follow up inspection fee of another $75 for something as simple as a missing window screen. Also, heaven forbid you miss your follow up inspection that's another $100 plus. You think I'm making this up ?? Get a copy and read it for yourslef.

What "proof" do we have that people are living in "down right dangerious conditions ??" Who desides what is "downright dangerious" Has there been a comphensive study ?? Are people getting ill and injured ??? What do the records show ??? Is there a problem or just imgination ?? FACTS are needed before setting up an agency that will cost over $100,000 and have dubious value.

Question for Jessica. OK so you didn't like the place but no one made you live there if you didn't want to. I assume that you found a place more to your likeing. It's called freedom of choice. Problem solved.

Am I missing something ?? Does Natalia live in Emporia or Burlingame ?? I thought that the subject was Emporia housing ?? Also it states that Natalia had lived in the apartment two months ?? Did Natalia ever notify her "Landlord" of the problem ? Landlord's can"t fix things unless they know about them.
