Happy day!!!!

Well as you know by now ordinance 60 passed last night.

It was a long hard fight. The ordinance passed by a 5-4 vote. Councilor Gilbert changed his vote from no to yes and councilor Stover changed his vote from yes to no.

The ordinance started almost four month ago. Then to last night it seemed that ordinance 60 was going to fail. When councilor Stover changed his vote, because with out him it seemed like there would be no chance.

Councilor Gilbert said nothing in the council debate, so it seemed like when you counted the votes it would be a 5-4 vote to turn down ordinance 60. Then when the vote was taken at first it was not a roll call. Then when asked if you support the ordinance I thought I heard Gilbert say I, then to a roll call it confirmed that he did support the ordinance. It passed then by a 5-4 in favor.


This was long process, but with the results I am happy.
