Oak Park— Charges against the woman who planted a vegetable garden in her front yard have been dropped, her attorney said Thursday.
But other charges against Julie Bass have been resurrected for not having licenses for her two dogs — even though she took care of that issue, lawyer Solomon Radner said.

"This is really nothing other than a personal vendetta against the Basses either because somebody doesn't like them, or because they had the nerve to fight this unjust prosecution," said Radner, who plans to file a motion to dismiss.

City officials could not be immediately reached for comment.

I would have been out there planting a veggie garden in my front yard.

Because the grower speaks in 3 and 4 syllable words.

Damn liberal elites!
