<span style="font-size: larger;">It would appear that DeWitt Township is moving forward with their &ldquo;International Property Maintenance Code&rdquo; and they will be holding a public hearing on July 22, 2013 to take public comments.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">To read the article in the State Journal it sounds like a great deal of work has gone into the process prior to making their decision about the actual content of the &ldquo;Code&rdquo;. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">If I were a resident of DeWitt Township I would have serious concerns about anything that has the word &ldquo;International&rdquo; in it as part of its description. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">You know the saying. &ldquo;We need to pass it so we will know what is in it&rdquo;. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">Just a little warning &ldquo;Make sure you know what your Township Board is approving before you jump onboard because you will have to live by it!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">Ask yourself if more government regulations are better and if your personal property rights are being infringed as a result of this new &ldquo;Code&rdquo;?</span><br />
