Imagine a bunch of men deciding to do the opposite of what the people they represent want – welcome to America :eyeroll
It happens here in Salem even – again I write about chickens. 4 of our councilmen want to kill the whole chicken issue before it goes to public vote.
Don’t let it happen! We need your voices!
If you live in the following areas, let your neighborhood association know you want chickens so they’ll support the cause.
South Gateway
South Salem
Morningside
If you live in the South Gateway neighborhood (it’s a big one, I didn’t even know which one I was in til I looked), please go to http://sgna.us/ and leave a comment in support of chickens in our yards in the post “Should residents be allowed to raise up to 5 chickens inside the city limits?”.
You’ll notice I left a comment – please, if you live in this neighborhood, leave one too!
You might be too late reading this, but there are 2 meetings – tonight (March 11) Morningside neighborhood association meeting – 6:30 pm at the Morningside Elementary School and tomorrow (March 12) Southeast Salem neighborhood association (SESNA) meeting – 7:00 pm at the Capital Park Westleyan church (410 19th St). If you can make it, please do so.
Here’s a packet the C.I.T.Y (Chickens In The Yard) group put together about chickens living in urban/suburban areas, check it out! City Chickens
