Woman Fined For Potty Planters


Illinois Woman Fined $25 For Having Plantes Made From Old Toilets In Her Front Yard.

The planters in her front yard brought Tina Asmus national publicity last month. This week, they brought her a $25 fine. Asmus said Tuesday she will go to court to fight to keep her lawn ornaments, which are made from two old toilets and a bathroom sink.

Lakemoor Police Chief Rick Iverson said Asmus was issued the $25 noncompliance ticket Monday after a 30-day warning ticket expired.

Ivarson said the village is not singling Asmus out, since it has issued about 100 notices of violation of the same ordinance, and the majority of those cited have complied.

The ordinance violations cited by police range from grass that is too long to junk in front yards.

^your neighbor. shitty looking houses drive down property values. if all the neighborhoods houses are well kept, grass cut, no toilets in the front lawn then property values go up and everyone benefits

I guess her planter idea went down the drain.

(I wish I could post a picture of myself doing this face to match the joke:

"that town probably sucks, so many stupid rules"

I think that the town already sucked and they are now trying to clean it up a bit by introducing "stupid rules". Although I`m not so sure whether their approach will really make a difference. So yeah, stupid rules.

This is funny. There`s a guy around here who owns a piece of property literally right in the middle of the village, on Market Street. The village wouldn`t let him sell it to some company for some reason, so he got really pissed. At first he started growing ten foot tall corn, then he just started putting in old toilets with plants in them. There`s at least a dozen of them out there right now, and he`s been doing it for almost five or six years.

The village has taken him to court over it twice and they can`t force him to remove them.
