Michigan city bureaucrats use Zika hysteria to criminalize puddles of water

For decades, bureaucrats and elected leaders in Detroit mismanaged the city’s finances to the point where retirement and other benefits far surpassed the tax base and led to the largest urban bankruptcy in recent history.
Now, more bureaucrats and elected officials in a nearby city want to punish city residents further – by essentially criminalizing water puddles.
No, this is not a joke.
As reported by CBS Detroit, the mayor of nearby Warren, Jim Fouts, wants to use the pretext of mosquito-borne viruses like West Nile and now Zika as a “proactive” way to cite and ticket people who have the audacity to keep areas of standing water on their premises.
“Many years ago when I was on the city council, we didn’t have West Nile and then we got it,” Fouts said. “And if you remember, Warren was one of the top cities in Michigan to have several fatalities from West Nile.”
Hence the hyperactive approach – though nobody has West Nile now, or Zika, for that matter.
