Yard waste burner puts home up for sale

There is little good news to be found in North St. Paul because this city is such a horrible place to live with its polluted air. But we may have a little less illegal yard waste smoke in the air in the near future. An illegal yard waste burner recently put their home up for sale. A man at this home burns leaves in the fall and a woman who lives there, Mrs. Illegal Yard Waste Burner I presume, likes to burn grass during the summer (we saw her burning grass in what little there is of a backyard a few weeks ago). There are a few women in the area who burn yard waste. There are two such lady yard waste burners living within a few hundred feet of city council member Jan Walczak's home. Ms. Walczak, the diligent and effective city council member that she is, does nothing about it. One of the lady yard waste burners is just a few houses down from her.
