Back to the actual topic.  I went to the County Legislature meeting this evening.  I did speak out regarding this legislation, however, I was not able to stick around to hear what the vote was on it.  I will say that I expect that it passed unanimously, or at least close to it.  I hope to catch the rebroadcast of the legislature meeting on Channel 16.
