Judge Throws Out Tulsa Woman's Lawsuit Over Edible Garden
And you can read The Judge's Ruling Here
We have some friends who live just out of the city limits, have been for over 35 years, and yet have been battling the city for the past 2 years over trivial stuff like inoperable vehicles.
And many thousands of dollars later, they are still being "fined" for stupid shit.
So much for that being YOUR private property. smh
Only thing we can figure out, is either they rezoned that area and are policing it.
Or...or someone wants their property.
Also, with new younger members on city council, they may frown upon how things are now compared to the old timers, and want to "clean up" certain areas.
Times are a changing folks.

Judge Throws Out Tulsa Woman's Lawsuit Over Edible Garden
Quote:Mar 20, 2013
Her attorney, Jeff Nix, said the judge based the decision on the city's horticulturist, who claimed Morrison's plants weren't edible. He plans to appeal, but said he's also encouraged Denise to replant her garden, bigger and better than ever.
"They picked on her because she stood up to them, but they have not seen anything yet," Nix said.
Morrison said code enforcement doesn't clean up all the abandoned houses that are boarded over, causing an eyesore, because there's no money in it. She said she believes they issue citations to home owners because the city wants the revenue. She is hoping for victory on appeal.
"If this ruling is allowed to stand, anybody in this city, growing anything anywhere in their yard, it can be ripped out when the city is in need of money," Morrison said.
The City of Tulsa said they thought the judge hit his decision out of the park.
It said, in part, that the city did not act unreasonably in their abatement of Morrison's property, that the city went to great lengths to explain to Morrison what conditions needed to be remediated and repeatedly attempted to reach a resolution before taking action.
