Graffiti is only public art when it is painted by tax paying non-criminals on property which they own and or maintain — not by shady characters who destroy homes and businesses and public property with their vandalism that struggling businesses and property owners must clean up at their own expense; not to mention gov’t property which is cleaned up at the expense of tax payers. I hope MPD will be present at the discussion to arrest anyone who stands up and takes credit for the vandalism all around the city.
