Leslie E. Dildy Jr. thought it OK to wheel his lawn tractor on Bank Street. If he was near the Courthouse and doing wheelies he was tempting fate. But if just going to cut a friend’s lawn, nearby, well how else can you move five hundred pounds of deadweight? This criminal court case needs more investigation than it got in the newspaper. Assuming the driver was sober and just practicing for his first Nascar race, I mean how fast can a lawn tractor go? There isn’t much grass to mow in August but maybe a friend had offered to sharpen the blades. But astute Suffolk police halted Dildy, 35, and ticketed him for driving without a license. The judge in General District Court demanded a ten-buck fine. Apparently Dildy’s attorney Jim Grandstander, that’s not right, Gandfield had studied the constitution of the United States and did not want this crime on Dildy’s record and appealed to Circuit Court. Congratulations to Mr.Dildy who stood up for his rights. Wednesday he was found guilty again and fined $50 and $258 in court costs. Of course the attorney will take the case to the State Court of Appeals. Assuming Grandfield is correct, that a lawnmower is considered a farm tractor, I’d take it all the way to the Supreme Court, assuming Dildy has the money.Tuesday, February 22, 2011

Wrong hill to die on; should have paid the $10.
This is a minor news story. The real news found buried in the entertainment section of the SNH is there is a new bee organization. The other article of interest is about the salvation army's new headquarters which sadly reflects the shortcoming of our elected officials. The good news would have been reading about the closing of thrift shops because the city's downtown economy was healthy with rents rising and limited retail space available. Once again the wrong signal from the Newspaper that "Cares" about Suffolk.
The lawn mower defendant was subsidized by the taxpayers. His lawyer was provided free through the Public Defender's Office.
Man bites dog, beekeeper stings bee articles. What a pathetic excuse for news.
