What is their agenda? Why are rules and zoning changes made without people knowing? Why does code enforcement act like law enforcement ?

They're turning Waycross into a communist city controlled by crooks! The people need to do away with the current local officials & bring in people that don't have any ties to the current officials or anyone else local for that matter.

Let's keep this going! Google "right to dry" or "solar rights"! Many states have passed laws to overturn any bans on clotheslines!! Some people have argued that it isn't respectable to hang dry your clothes. I say, it's sad that there's still people today that believe that they are better than others because of what they have and where they live! What about how eco friendly it is?!? We're supposed to be going forward, not backward. What happens when laws are passed against bathing suits that someone decides aren't "respectable". Are we going to ban those? What about people who walk to the grocery store that we see carrying their groceries home with their kids walking beside them? You usually only see this in poorer neighborhoods. Does this mean that the "rich" are going to ban walking and biking because it doesn't make our city look respectable? Here's a better idea! Bring opportunity, education, and well paying jobs here! Stop passing restrictions that make people want to move from your city. Think outside of the box. This is what leaders do!

We as a people seem to care very little for our neighbors. Politicians care nothing about their constituents, they care about what Waycross appears to be not what it really is underneath. Only those who have money and so-called power are considered worthy of the so-called leaders good treatment. God still sits how and looks low he sees WAYCROSS for what it really is and he knows hearts and there are some evil, greedy, no-caring hearts in this beautiful city. It's all about squeezing people out of basic rights and needs. It's pitiful because this town is blessed with so many people that are talented, giving, worthy of respect and some are better, much better leaders than we have now. It's time to vote out the weeds and vote in some flowers. God bless WAYCROSS it really really needs prayer.

This is a ridiculous ordinance, and bad for the environment. Why waste energy when drying clothes on a clothesline is so much better in terms of less energy use and fresh smelling clothes. What about people who can;t afford the extra electricity? I am glad I live in a community that doesn't put this silly and harmful type of regulation in place. This, by the way, cuts across the political spectrum, I see a Tea Party member is against this ordinance, as am I, a Liberal.

We are tired of all the governmental bullying! I am a member of the tea party! I do believe that the people are supposed to have control over the government, not the other way around! I also believe when that government begins to infringe on our rights, or pose as a threat, for no worth while reason, we do have the RIGHT to boot their tail out of office, and put someone in office who has our best interest in mind. I am a registered voter! I do pay taxes!

Some people honestly can't afford an indoor dryer, and cannot afford to take their rugs or other large items to a drycleaners

Banning clotheslines and air-drying of rugs, sheets, and other items is absurd! This is a natural, eco-friendly process, and it is also often the only method of drying clothes that some people can afford!

Please leave people alone about clothes line. Well next thing you should do go to central ave apartments. And close the bottom floor apartment due to all the black mold and really check inside walls cause all they do is paint over it with kiln , people get sick there drive around outside and see your self. That's more important then clothes lines in yard.
