A S**t Parade on Old Timber?

Mr. Anthony Martello, of 29 Split Timber Road in NoPo, has sued the town for failing to clean raccoon poop out of a culvert near his home. Details of the suit, filed this past May 19th, can be found here, but essentially, he claims that raccoons are living in a culvert behind his house (the Greenwich Public Works Department denies that racoons live in culverts — I’ve never asked the masked bandits personally about this, so I’ll withhold judgement) and demands a quarterly cleaning and stern “No Raccoons” signs posted near its entrance.

Hmm. From the filed complaint, Freddy Camillo and every other possible public official, including little Jimmy Johnson, Riverside School’s 6th-grade chief of the Safety Patrol, have stopped by, listened to Mr. Martello’s complaint, and told him to piss-off, so to speak. And he is pissed off, so he’s sued, pro-se; it’s the new American way.

Lesson I’d draw from this? Don’t buy (or inherit, as seems to be the case here) a house in a swamp.

The town hasn’t filed an answer yet, so we’ll await developments.
