Question Pay the fines, 'cause fines "pay"?

Recently, (Wednesday, the 9th I think) this area had an unusual and strong Southeasterly wind. The next day was dead-calm. Every square inch of the lake was covered in vegetative litter.

While most of it was "Nature's Own", there were leaf-blowers adding still more that day. (And do so every weekday). Everything loose—leaves, cones, mulch, needles, grass clippings—gets blown onto the dock, and thence into the lake.

A McMansion owner across from me paid the modest fines for clear-cutting his property about nine years ago. (According to a friend who is "tight" with a Town mover).

Last year, he sold the place advertised as "a view of the lake from every window", for about $4.5 million—more than five times what it cost to build.

Fines pay?
