"Best in Class" is part of corporate-speak nowadays. All corporate-speak is annoying to me, but I'm sure ZeroHedge commenters would understand the facetiousness of using it.
This morning, Zerohedge published this short post: Florida Residents Warned They'll Be Ticketed For Hurricane-Damaged Homes. This citation-writing and confronting of taxpaying homeowners with "safety notices: was going on 6 hours after the hurricane passed through, as residents assessed the damages to their houses.
Celso Perez told local WSVN-TV that he, his family, and his neighbors were starting to clear fallen trees from the streets after the storm passed through at nine in the morning on Monday. Hours later, in the afternoon, Perez got a visit from the county.
“And we thought he was here to help us or offer some type of assistance with the trees, maybe he was going to bring us ice or something,” Perez told WSVN. Instead, the official slapped a safety notice on the only part of Perez’s fence still standing.
“I laughed,” he said. “I thought he was kidding. ‘You are kidding right? We just had a hurricane six hours ago.’ ‘No, I’m not kidding. I have to cite you for this.’ I just laughed. OK, whatever; knock yourself out!”

They will ticket "... unsecured pools with no barriers."
Miami was one YUGE giant unsecured pool during the hurricane. Ticket yourselves, gubmint a$$holes.

When he returns to issue a citation, just kill him. Chalk it up to the hurricane.

"Just kill him" is good advice. This ticket bullshit is just a hunt for taxes.

Hey, they are just doing their job responsibly as Democrats.
Republicans are far, far from perfect, but these clowns are certainly not Republican.
Vote Democrat for a cleaner, safer neighborhood...
..especially in Chicago.
