Make me pay
When I got a speeding ticket, I deserved it. And after getting the ticket, I became the safest driver for the longest period of time, especially since I had to pay for what I did.
I have an idea in regard to watering of lawns. Instead of warnings, give me a fine that I have to pay. Since law enforcement will not come after me if I don’t pay, let the cities of Fresno and Clovis do this. Put the fine on my “City of Fresno” or City of Clovis” monthly bill.
If I don’t pay this, then cut my water off — and I mean cut my water off.
