Vandals are leaving a mark on Guthrie as the historic town sees a rise in graffiti.City leaders are tired of it and are taking action."It can be very damaging to the building. Not only the application of the paint but the removal," said Nathan Turner, regional director for museums and historic sites for the Oklahoma Historical Society.In a unanimous decision, the Guthrie City Council declared an emergency ordinance during its last meeting.Leaders upped the ante and added some teeth to the city's graffiti ordinance."This one has consequences, allows clean up, allows tickets to be written and holds parents responsible," a city councilor said.Ordinance 3373 says anyone convicted could face up to $500 in fines, 60 days in jail or both. It also prohibits any child from holding a spray-paint canister or marker on public property without a guardian and any adult doing the same on private property without permission from the owner."Don't disturb other people's property. Just leave things alone," Turner said.People charmed by Guthrie's historical significance said this is a step in the right direction. "We've done a lot in the past decades to bring Guthrie up to its beauty that it has," Turner said, "and when we have people do things like that, it defaces the community."
