It may seem incredibly alien to y'all in Kalifornia, but out here in
flyoverland the notion of a bunch of guys (and gals) getting together
and suggesting whatever to their fellow citizens is quite acceptable.
Matter of fact, it's part of what we elected them to do. We even
understand the difference between a resolution and legislation.

yes, I regard suggestions lacking the force of law as "meaningless" in the
context of a government body - they should not wast their time, the dollars
to light the building while they debate it, or anything else unless there is
an action to be taken - this is no more meaningful, per what you are telling
me, than the "suggestion" that we get out of iraq that some city councils
passed. Now, if they said that there would be free amunition, paid for by
city taxes, that is a government act (we could debate its wisdom), but
otherwise, this is strum-und-drag (hope I spelled it right)


Dumbass. It is the first step in getting a local law passed.
