Hi!  It's me!  Bev!
 
Your trained little criminal pal is still operating an illegal "Handyman" business out of his renter's house in a residential neighborhood.
 
The "Handyman" truck with the ladder on top was back again today 3 times picking up commercial vendor supplies. 
 
I don't want their company truck coming and going out of our residential neighborhood, as if this is zoned "commercial" district, which it is not!!!!!
 
It stopped for a few days, as usual.  It is back again. 
 
It had better stop NOW!!!!!
 
This is against our Municode laws.
 
 
 
7:19 a.m. this morning. 

 
Now your little criminal pal has 2 trucks, not just one truck, picking up supplies from a renter's house in a residential neighborhood early this morning. 
 
You allow your trained little criminal pal to continue to operate an illegal vendor commercial "Handyman"  business out of our residential neighborhood, which is against the zoning laws, just like what you did with the Mr. Rooter business. 
 
 
 
2:35 p.m. this afternoon.
 
Your trained little criminal pal came back this afternoon to pick up supplies.
 
You can see little kids in the background playing.
 
This is a residential neighborhood.
 
This "Handyman" truck with the work ladder on top, is a commercial vendor vehicle operating illegally out of our neighborhood, as you are criminals, yourself, in my humble opinion, to allow this criminal behavior to continue, even after getting "verified statements".
 
Obviously, more "verified statements" need to be sent out immediately!!!!!!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
3:35 p.m. this afternoon.
 
Your trained little criminal pal left with supplies. 

Malcolm still needs to send me the name of that Code Enforcement employee that is in constant contact with your pet criminal and allows your little pet criminal to continually break our Municode laws. 

I need to get a "verified statement" against that employee, ASAP!!!

I know Malcolm is busy, so next week is OK with me.

I will be busy getting a "Citizen's Arrest Warrant" ready to send off this afternoon.

I need to get that off my "to do" list to help you people do your jobs. 

 
You are treasonous, in my humble opinion, as you will not stop illegal behavior, even when you know it is illegal. 
 
Here is how Wikipedia describes treason.
 
"Treason is criminal disloyalty."
 
"Treason is when a person acts against his country. For example, somebody might help another country fight a war against or loot his country by keeping secrets or ..."
 
You folks are acting against the good of our City by allowing assessed property values to decrease in neighborhoods, when you allow illegal vendor commercial activities. 
 
It makes it worse, because home improvements are happening constantly in our neighborhood, and still our assessed property values decreased.  Illogical.  Does not compute.
 
You are fighting a war against our neighborhood laws.  Laws are in place for a reason, folks.  Now follow the laws and stop being so very, very, deeply evil, in my humble opinion.
 
 
Here are the pics from today for my proofs.  Updates will come numerous times daily, as needed, until this is cleared up. 
 
So,I will for sure write again later on with a new report, when it comes in, that I know you cannot wait to receive.
 
You refuse to take responsibility for your actions.  Only you are responsible for your actions, no one else.
 
 
Sincerely,
Bev

This is from our Ethics Code

"Open Government & Ethics Pamphlet 2013
Other Ethics Rules of Interest 
Page 7
It also prohibits acts of advantage or favoritism and, in that regard, prohibits special considerations, use of employee time for personal or private 
reasons, and use of City vehicles or equipment, except in same manner as available to any other person (or in manner that will substantially benefit City)."

"Last night we heard from the owners of the truck.  It belongs to a couple who recently moved to Louisville and who just purchased the vehicle.  The husband and wife are a little distressed about why the selective enforcement against them.  Commander Kingston will speak with them and convey our assurances that this is all quite routine and innocent. "

This quote is from a May 25, 2012 e-mail to me from Bruce Goodman, Police Chief.  He knows the rules.  He applies them when he wants.  He is a bully.  He does not do his job that he is paid to do.  He should be fired on the spot.  If he did his job correctly, the first time he contacted the owners, he would not be  backed into a corner to save face.  Now, he will not do his job, just to try to prove he is correct, when he is so very wrong.
