Dear Sir
I wish to appear before the City Commission at the next City Commission meeting.
I have, for the past twent-five years, called the complaint desk at the City of
Miami Police station to report such things as illegal fireworks, loud late night
parties, unlicensed cars stored on the street, threats of harm to me, battery on
me, broken glass to my home and autos, damage to front lawn by chemicals and by
car tires spinning on the grass, etc. The City of Miami Police classifiwd this
all as a dispute between neighbors thereby throwing me to the dogs. This
§egan as my fight against the scofflaws. It evolved into a fist between me,the
police, the city commission and the scofflaws. I wish to inform the Mayor, the
City Commission and the City Manager what is and what is down the road, to take
the intial step towards a petition to the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court
for a decarative judgement and injunctive relief.
Yours Truly
Thomas I. Jones
