I'm not surprised at the increase in graffiti, after all, the Ann Arbor Distric Library provides free courses on how to do it during the Art Fairs. During that lesson, they provide a sheet,. Afterwards, teh graduartes only have blank white walls to use. So Silly- taxpayer money to create graffiti, followed by more taxpayer money to clean it up.

For the perpetrators of these events, I think if the police investigate these incidents with diligence, the writing will be on the wall.
