Priorities

Yesterday Annie Bones and I took a morning walk at the yacht harbor and we came across a cypress tree downed in Friday's huge wind and rain storm. Annie and I had to creep by the tree on a very narrow shelf 10 feet above the water. When we were finally on the beach I met a woman walking her very mannerly lab. She told me she'd just gotten a ticket for $210 for having her dog off leash as he frolicked in the surf. My question: why aren't these county workers clearing hazardous storm debris rather than raking in the revenue by handing out violations to old women and their even older dogs?
