city mower cuts private lawn

City parks dept. worker riding a city mower cuts the lawn of a condo adjacent to the park where he should be working. How much do you suppose Luciano Pavarotti, Adam Clayton (from U2), David Caruso (CSI Miami), and the rest of the gazillionaires in Il Villagio tipped this $12.00-an-hour worker to get him to use a mower to cut their lawn (and gas to run it) which was bought and maintained with my (and the other 100,000 non-gazillionaire Miami Beach residents') tax money, which, by the way, is also paying this guy's wages for the time involved? Will he do my condo's lawn more cheaply than the landscaper we now use, or are his services limited to oceanfront property abutting the park to which his labors should be confined? Maybe the city needs to build a fence at the perimeter of the park, as they have in every other park in town, so their workers can't do this. Maybe they believe these gazillionaires are entitled because their tax assessments are so high. Maybe they'll discipline him for accepting gratuities or for using city equipment on private property. Maybe I should stop dreaming.
