While the world battles Isis and the
Ebola outbreak, it is always good to see what the real problems are affecting our local area. It appears
that some citizens in Indian Wells are rude and aggressive and
sometimes use foul language. Now the city is looking to reign that
in.
It will debate Thursday whether or not
to give power to city manager Wade McKinney to take away residents
perks and cards that allow them dining, golf and other perks for patterns of rude and abusive behavior.
Now this being Indian Wells, the
reaction to being told to not act like jerks has spawned, of course, said reactions. City Councilman Doug Hanson has compared the
first proposal to a police state. Hanson of course, allegedly
told a chef at the IW Club that he would, “Shove a hamburger up the
Chef's a#$” if not cooked to his satisfaction a few years ago.
What I of course find amusing is the
fact that Indian Wells one of the wealthiest enclaves in the United
States, feels it has to codify codes of behavior. It just goes to
show that as always, money can't buy class.
This ordinance has no way of passing
any proposed constitutional test but it certainly provides us all
with a clear definition of First World Problems.
