Did any of the extra dirt go towards filling any of the potholes? Enough of the photo ops. How about Mr. Mayor spends a day at the high school without his entourage with out any heads up to the school. Enough of the fake stuff. Do better Mister Mayor. Stop with the fake stuff and focus on the real issues, violence in the schools, open drug use/abuse, crime, potholes. Do the job you were "voted" in to do.

So why is it that I keep seeing Pat Hill driving by your (the city of brockton) property on Otis street and not picking up the stuff illegally dumped in the woods? He literally drove by today in his yellow truck. Hes driving by it plenty of times before. Even stopping next to it to look at it, and then drove off without getting out to pick it up. He had a passenger at the time that could've helped. He once told me, he has to pick up everything within 10 feet of the sidewalk. It's why he drives around with a trash barrel in that pick up. Why does he refuse to clean this up? And there's already been 2 different attempts on the website, with pictures. From different households. The statuses are still opened. I once had to personally pull a mattress from the woods that was clearly visible and move it to the sidewalk. That was the only time he's stopped to take care of it. That's when he told me about the 10 feet rule. I know he may be a busy man, but he cant take 3 minutes out of his day when he drives by? Or even take note to send a clean up crew? Ridiculous. And very depressing to see this out of my window as soon as I look out.

We'll take additional trees at our residential property on Commercial Street.
