When an 80-something lady in your town refuses to cut her lawn, how do you respond to such lack of neighborliness? Why, if you're the mayor of Tequesta, Florida, you fine her 1.8 million dollars, of course, robbing her of every last penny. Fair's fair.


From the city website:
"As we enter this holiday season I would like you to know your Village is sound and secure. While we have certainly experienced Mother Nature’s wrath, the Village has persevered. Due to your preparation and that of the Village’s staff, we have returned to a “business as usual” mode."
"Business as usual" being, you know, impoverishing octogenarians.
