NOISE: Enforce law or quit

I would like to congratulate Mr. Marty Meyer for speaking up about the ongoing noise problem in our once relatively quiet town. Too long the majority (that term still means what our forefathers meant it to stand for — majority rules) of people in our town have had to tolerate (a liberal excuse for no backbone) unnecessary noise by a few offenders for the so-called sake of business or some other gutless excuse. We now have an ordinance to control this worsening problem. What we need are some officials with a backbone to do the job that the majority want enforced by law, not some liberal dribble excuse called educational actions. What a crock of B.S. in plain English.

I live eight blocks from Sherman and experience the same rude, self-centered actions by loud motorcycles, unmuffled cars, over the top stereos, barking dogs and loud way after 10 p.m. parties.

Maybe the voters should vote in another people’s mandate of city leaders and officials who enforce the laws the majority wish.
