Better late than never, we suppose
The Standard-Examiner reports this morning on a story that's been rattling around Weber County Forum for at least a couple of months:
"Fires sweeping Ogden neighborhood slated for demolition"
Scott Schwebke does flesh out this ongoing story a bit, with interesting tidbits such as these:
• Ogden City Planning Commissioner Iain Hueton owns a property in the area;
• An eyewitness actually saw somone torching a home last Tuesday night;
• "At least three of the homes that have burned" are owned by Gadi Leshem;
• Leshem plans to file insurance claims on these properties;
• City officials have been working with Leshem to get him to demolish the abandoned homes as soon as possible.
Not exactly red meat news for a Friday morning, but it's encouraging progress, we think, to see that the Std-Ex has finally gotten around to reporting this ongoing Leshemville arson crime wave, after being scooped by Weber County Forum over the past several months.
And what say our gentle readers about all this?
Drewmeister?
Anyone?
