The fate of the neighbor ordinance remains undecided...


It will be interesting to see how West Lafayette decides to play out the concerns regarding this "Good Neighbor Ordinance". Many West Lafayette residents have complained about noise created by students living in the area. Edwina Henderson, a local resident, was just quoted by the Journal and Courier, saying she's had problems with not only noise but theft and public intoxication.

Mayor Jan Mills enacted the Good Neighbor Ordinance in West Lafayette as a way of cracking down on this behavior. However the vote evidently won't get a deciding vote prior to her leaving office at the end of the year. Will West Lafayette drop the ball on this? I don't think so. I hope not. Let me know what you think!
