<DIV><BR></DIV>Wayne and Judy,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I agree with you 100%! But think about it, we had (and may still have) a
city council that banned cigarettes from closer than 20 feet from an
entrance and from smoking in bars. They then took control of the
notorious</DIV>
<DIV>spread of raising chickens! Do you really think that this would go
through if there was ANY wiggle room at the city level like there was for
cigarettes?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I am hopeful about the new council however, not too damn happy about them
squandering $500.00 per council person for a one day boondoggle at the 1912
Center! $3.000.00 for a facilitator that could probably be done by
someone local. And who in their right mind wants a council that is
in lock step with other council members? THEY ARE ADULTS, and if they
can't get along as adults, then the electorate will take care of that in the
next election, just like they did in the last one. But tossing $3.000.00
away for a kumbaya session put on by some out of town "expert" is just
plane dumb. And for those council member that think it is such a great
thing, would THEY each cough up $500.00 to attend? And if they would, just
make the check for $500 payable to the city!!!!! (For those of you
that really think the best of the local politicians, don't hold your
breath, the checks won't be written!)</DIV>

in public, and it would regulate the drug under the strict conditions used
