A proposed budget by Pierce County officials aims at cracking down on graffiti and litter problems.
While some people consider graffiti to be art, others, like David Daniello, who owns Celebrity Cake Studio in Tacoma, said this kind of graffiti is vandalism.
“It’s very frustrating as a business owner because time is a very important commodity for a business person like, I can be doing other projects, but there are other things that need to be pushed forward," he added. Officials said the initiative would use $4.5 million from the Federal American Rescue Plan Act on top of the $44 million they normally spend on these efforts. Officials said some of the money would go into buying two litter removal trucks.“They’re vacuum trucks that can go along the side of the road and focus easily and much more efficiently on picking up litter on our roads," said Bruce Dammeier, a Pierce County executive.
