Steve Ray: Those who cast off litter thumb noses at all of us
Santa Fe Road, which follows the railroad tracks opposite the Amtrak station between Parker and Milnes roads, is always littered with debris left by miscreants. It’s not a pretty sight for locals or the Amtrak travelers passing through Modesto. The most recent deposit is a boat filled with trash and left “moored” to the $1000 fine for littering sign. The sight of this blatant insult suggests the thrashers thought it funny to tie it up to the sign. It’s sad that people disregard their environment like this and also that so little can be done to make them accountable.
