Keep Deerfield beach clean, please

Dear Editor:

I have written before and personally delivered a letter to Mr. Miller’s office regarding the dogs and bikes on the beach, but got no response. Now that he is re-elected, I am hoping to pursue my complaint.

We have a very beautiful beach and the word is out.  Everybody comes to our beach from all over and leaves the vicinity with garbage overflowing and trash all over.  A lot of people who live here walk on the paved area of the beach.  One time, I saw so many dogs that I started counting them.  For the one hour I was there, there were seven dogs.  I did not count those little ones in the strollers and thank God for those smart owners.

Some of these people have the nerve to be angry when they are told ‘no dogs on the beach.’  They either cannot read the big sign or they are too stupid to care.  After all, nobody is really going to issue them a ticket.  Sometimes, you see dog poo on the beautiful paved path that we have.

If we are serious about having no dogs or bikes or skateboards on the beach, then let’s reinforce it.  Otherwise, take out the sign and let all of the dogs come.  It is a big joke!  The money you collect from imposing a fine seriously on these offenders will more than pay for personnel who can ticket them.  And then you will see a big improvement on the beach because they know they can’t get away with it.

The beach is crowded enough to dogs and bikes and skates.  Please help us get this problem addressed by contacting the right people who can make the difference.

I thank you for your time and appreciate your assistance.

Trees safe for now

Dear Editor:

The Hillsboro Boulevard Tree Landscaping project (AKA: the chainsaw massacre) has been put on hold pending further notice. Thanks to Commissioner Ganz, the project is being reviewed and will not proceed as planned.

Wonderful words, “on hold.”  Even more wonderful would be “PROJECT CANCELLED.”

RE: “Obama wants more jobs? He needs to decrease taxes … for everyone!”

Dear Editor:

Your Publisher’s Perspective in the April 28 publication of the Observer is nonsense. If it were up to me, the tax on earned income above $250,000 would be 90 percent. The only people who have sympathy for individuals in that tax bracket are people who are in the upper bracket, politicians, and anyone who profits from statements supporting the rich. If cutting taxes produced jobs, where are they?
