Speak up:

[A]t one (or both) of two public meetings to gauge public sentiment regarding proposed legislation to relax the current restrictions on the keeping of chickens and bees and other small critters in the City of Cleveland. A copy of the proposed legislation is attached for your reading pleasure.

This is an opportunity to have your voice heard regarding the relaxation of rules which currently hinder or prohibit local animal husbandry. If you wish to support the production of more fresh, local food, for yourself or for commerce you should weigh in on this legislation. Come speak for the ducks, geese, goats, rabbits and their cousins as they can’t speak for themselves.

If you have some questions regarding the proposed changes give me a call; preferably on the weekend or weekdays after 9:00 P.M. (free cell minutes).

I’d encourage you to forward this public meeting announcement to all the local food supporters you know.
