From where I sit on the Ledyard Town Council

The Ledyard Town Council's Community Services Committee is considering an ordinance designed to prevent roaming cats.  Ledyard is a town that gets very little press coverage but this topic is getting more ink and more interest than the council's vote this Wednesday night on the budget.  After two recent stories on the proposed ordinance, readers weighed in online with comments mostly against the ordinance. 

The proposal originated from a complaint against Mr. Bill Burling, who is a real pussy cat when it comes to caring for stray cats.  In response, Mr. Burling is conducting his own meeting on April 23rd at the Bill library in Ledyard from 7 to 8 PM. At the meeting, Mr. Burling  plans to address the problem the town faces with unwanted pets. I suspect he will have a larger turnout than we'll get at the next town council meeting.
