Julie Bass of Oak Park, Michigan...is facing 93 days in jail after being charged with a misdemeanor...Her crime? Planting a vegetable garden in the front yard...This is not some gated community...This is an ordinary, working class neighborhood...Oak Park is facing financial issues. Here at home, people are amazed that a cash-strapped city has the resources to investigate, charge, and prosecute a resident for something as innocuous as planting a vegetable garden.
