Writing's on the wall - Graffiti clean-up order angers couple

Adrian and Patty Parkinson are seething about graffiti on their north Hamilton house, fence and garage. But their anger is with the city for treating them like the criminals.

Heavy-handed verbal and written orders with threats of fines of up to $50,000 if they don't clean up the mess within 19 days are way out of line, they say. Especially when the weather has been mostly too cold to paint over the graffiti.
