    Proposed Ordinance for St. Charles MI 4/13/16

    Here is the proposed Ordinance that the village manager brought to the council on this past Wednesday 4/13/16. He is a good guy but I don't think he was influenced by the " Anti Urban Chicken Establishment", Anti Chicken council members and this ordinance reflects it. We debated it for about...

    Reasons why requiring your neighbor's PERMISSION is a bad idea

    In St. Charles MI we just debated a proposed ordinance this last week to allow chickens in the village. The proposed ordinance from written by the village manager, had requirements that predetermined the ordinance failure: 1. You had to be 16 yrs or older to be alone in the yard with a...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    I was told once that everyone has the right to speak in front of the senate or congress? I was told that you get 10 - 15 min to speak your mind and it goes on record. Do any of you know if this is true and can it be done at all levels and the ag department meetings? Could we set up a town...
