Does a town like Century, with crumbling infrastructure, few jobs and declining population really want to add yet another layer of laws to the books?

Not to mention what this will really come down to is one neighbor tattling on another neighbor to the city about animals simply because they are mad at them about something else.

Not to mention, who is going to enforce this ordinance? Follow the money people. After this passes if there suddenly appears on the horizon some sort of city position tasked with enforcement, follow very closely the connection between who gets the job and the council. I’d bet you there will be a connection.

It boggles the mind how a little bit of power goes a long way. The actions of some members of the council seem to suggest they are dictators rather than elected officials and that they will continue to exert themselves as to taking away YOUR rights with these mindless ordinances.

Those of you who think this situation doesn’t effect you should consider several factors: YOU may not own animals, and YOU may set silent as your neighbors lose their livestock and such…but what about when they start encumbering something YOU’RE concerned about, when they start telling YOU what you can/can’t do with your land? Who will stand up for you? Think about it people.

I hope the protesters return to the meeting…silent or not, there is strength in numbers.

When Century has elections, I hope there is a mass uprising at the polls that votes these bozos out of office.
