Who Gives Scott Cannon Authority to Play Code Enforcer?

Another tidbit of info from Duncanville District 3 Councilman Paul Ford's PaulFordReports.com Web site is this:

Last summer, Code Enforcement employees issued over a hundred warning notices and citations to persons in Councilman Scott Cannon’s neighborhood. The notices and citations were for grass of any length growing in sidewalk cracks. Code Enforcement allegedly acted on the direct orders of Cannon and City Manager Kent Cagle.



If this is true, Scott Cannon should be prosecuted. The only power a councilman has is when he is seated with a quorum in official business. If Cannon or whoever wanted to go "enforce" anything, by law he can only do so as a member of the whole council, not individually.


Unless of course Duncanville operates under their own de facto law.
