Doggone it! You have to watch this council like hawks

The minutes for November 18th's city council have this little gem buried in there:

Banning of Pit Bulls in British ColumbiaIt was moved by Councillor Fleming, seconded by Councillor Fortin, that a letter be sent to the President of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities requesting that the Solicitor General consider legislation, similar to Ontario's recent legislation, banning put bulls in British Columbia.

It was moved by Councillor Fleming, seconded by Councillor Fortin, that the motion be amended to read as follows:
That a letter be sent to the President of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities requesting that the Solicitor General of the Province of British Columbia monitor the implementation and report to the UBCM on the effectiveness of the legislation. - Carried

On the Main Motion - Carried

I am getting sick of this crap. How often do I have to go to City Council's chambers just to stop them from screwing with me and my family? It's getting tedious!

OK, so once I calmed down from that, there's this little tidbit:
