Clayton Carter and his wife made a few hundred bucks at a garage sale the other day, but they then learned that a $100 bill a woman used to buy a $5 item was a fake.
MCMINNVILLE (AP) — Phillip J. Pirages sells books from his home office off a country road beyond McMinnville. It’s not a high-traffic location, but then again you’re unlikely to be his customer unless you have several thousand dollars — maybe tens of thousands of dollars — to spend.
To the editor: How much time and money was spent by the city attorney to mount a failed prosecution against someone advertising a garage sale? Is this a joke? People should be outraged at the incompetence of our city officials. The city is spending taxpayer money to prosecute citizens having garage sales while our town is filled with empty store fronts and heroin is peddled to our children. How pathetic.
Attorney: Enforcement hasn’t had desired effect The Dalles attorney Gene Parker said regulation of yard and garage sale signs has not yielded the desired results this summer but he is optimistic that time will bring a culture change.
The City of The Dalles reminds citizens there are sign boards at the Mid-Columbia Senior Center, St. Vincent DePaul and the Chamber of Commerce meant to accomodate the need for garage sale signs.
