Dear Editor,

In regards: Martha Espinosa’s letter concerning cleanup of property:

Hooray for you, I feel exactly the same way regarding the cleanup of property.

Each time I called a county department I was told to call a different department. All to no avail, why aren’t the commissioners doing their job?

So many properties filled with dead trees, brush and brambles including alleys.

A lightning strike, a cigarette butt or spark from any vehicle and we could have a firestorm here. Aren’t any of our public officials paying attention? If not why not.
