Despite the fact that city authorities have temporarily dropped a case against Oak Park resident Julie Bass for growing a vegetable garden in her front yard after the story received nationwide attention, Bass has now been hit with a new criminal charge for owning unlicensed dogs, clear evidence says Bass that she’s the victim of a vendetta. Bass says the new charge is merely an effort to “dig up other dirt on us” as a punishment for the embarrassment the garden fiasco caused city officials, emphasizing the fact that the dogs are in fact licensed already.
I think you missed the last sentence. The dogs are already licensed.

Cities are supposed to fine people with unlicensed dogs, EXCEPT is they've been in the media for breaking other rules??
If she has unlicensed dogs, I cant cant see any reason why she should not be treated like any other unlicensed dog offender.
Personally, I think dogs should only be kept by people who live in large areas, like farms.
Good question. That is one of the reasons I would love to get some input from a local there.

Do they go into other peoples back gardens to snoop to see wither or not they have unlicensed dogs? I find it bizarre they just targeted her and not anyone else.

The government were in the wrong here. They were called on it and rightfully called the fool. So they're getting their payback by finding another charge to take against this lady. I hope this lady drags these "people" through the mud!
It is a major issue. They are using the police power of the state to hound this woman who has done absolutely no wrong here.

If her dogs are licensed then the charges against her for having unlicensed dogs will get dropped when she proves it to the court, and this is a non-issue. Leave it to PrisonPlanet to sensationalize a non-issue.edit on 16-7-2011 by gift0fpr0phecy because: (no reason given)
