Subject: [Peace-discuss] Urbana's WQ seeking ethnic cleansing and more power
over property owners.

 

Consider the article below...

I suggest that Prussing just cut directly to the chase and say that she
wants to create an queendom in Urbana that is exclusively
for wealthy white folks except that a few others needed for domestic
servants are welcome provided
that they meet her standards.  All the riff-raff should be summarily kicked
out onto the streets.  Property "owners"
should take note that all of their property is lent to them by the kind
permission of the Queen, and serious
consequences shall befall all who respect her not.




 


Urbana considering ordinance for repeat nuisance offenders


By Mike Monson


Wednesday November 12, 2008


URBANA – The city administration wants broad power to crack down on problem
properties where criminal activities occur twice or more within a six-month
period.

City aldermen on Monday discussed a proposed "criminal nuisance property"
ordinance, but, at the suggestion of City Attorney Ronald O'Neal, postponed
a final vote until next month.

"I recommend you give this one a really close look," he said. "There will be
some concern from property owners regarding its use."

Mayor Laurel Prussing said she asked O'Neal to draft the ordinance.

"We try to make sure we can combat problems in every way possible to reduce
crime and make neighborhoods safer," she said.

The proposed ordinance defines 15 criminal activities as nuisance
activities, among them mob action, assault, battery, unlawful use of
weapons, prostitution, sexual assault, public indecency, illegal gambling,
arson and drug-related crimes.

If "a preponderance of the evidence" indicates that there have been two or
more instances of nuisance activity within six months, the city could under
the ordinance seek a fine of between $300 and $750 per day, per incident
against the property owner, occupant or person in charge.

In hearing such a case, a judge could consider how serious the problem has
been, the cost to the city in investigating and attempting to resolve it and
how cooperative the property owner or other person has been, according to
wording in the proposed ordinance.

O'Neal described the ordinance as "a very rough draft." He said it would
give police another option when certain properties are generating an
inordinate number of police calls.

"This ordinance attempts to put some of the onus on property owners," he
said.

The city attorney said he helped draft a similar ordinance for the city of
Aurora, where he formerly worked. O'Neal told aldermen that Aurora used its
ordinance selectively against three or four chronic violators.

"We made property owners aware of this ordinance and let them know there
were some fairly stiff fines available," he said.

The proposed ordinance would also give Urbana the authority to suspend the
city rental license for a property for a period of 30 to 180 days.

Asked by Alderman Charlie Smyth what properties in Urbana might be subject
to such a penalty, O'Neal declined to name names, but said "they involve
apartment complexes and one or two bars as well."

Alderwoman Heather Stevenson asked about a scenario where a landlord was
compelled to rent to a felon because of the city's human rights ordinance,
which prohibits discrimination against someone based on their criminal
record, and a situation where the felon then begins committing crimes.

"You are not required to keep someone who is perpetrating ongoing criminal
activity," O'Neal responded. "You have grounds to evict them."

Champaign passed an aggravated-public-nuisances ordinance about a decade ago
that targets property owners who allow their tenants to commit criminal
acts, said Champaign City Attorney Fred Stavins.
