Citizen Letter: Binford Road 1.14.2024 (update)

To: Dear Sheriff Scardina, Chief Naugle and Deputy Thompson

We appreciate Deputy Thompson’s efforts on Binford Rd. 

Today, I took the below photos:

1) The RV on the city side of the road needs to be removed.  I will call it in again to NPD.  If you need me to have members of the public call it in too, I can have that done.

2) A dog (healer breed) is tied to some junk and is unattended.  I cannot see if he has food or water.  I no longer call the MHS, as Nancy who is a leader of the MHS wrote to me, “The people who live on Binford Rd treat their animals like family.”   I don’t tie family members up to junk and I don’t know anyone who does. 

3) I asked the man to not have his two dogs defecate and urinate into the wetlands.  I purposely was on the phone with Dispatch when I stayed this so it would be on record.  The man clearly didn’t think he was doing anything wrong by being in the wetlands with his dog. 

I am respectfully asking again for the laws to be followed on Binford Rd.  No matter the hardships or painful  backstories of many of the residents living on Binford, that does not give them the right to neglect animals, have them defecate in the wetlands, litter, dispose of their human waste wherever they like and park wherever they do choose.

On a happy note, after church today, a woman said she appreciated all my social media posts on Binford Rd. I hear that all the time in the community.  Time for me to crank it up again.

Peace,
