City Council President Marc San Soucie said the potential food and educational benefits to families outweighed any perceived harm suggested by some. He also likened chickens to more mainstream pets, such as dogs and cats, that are permitted.
"Chickens I don't think are going to change the dynamic of the city," he said, "in any way."
Smart man!
Ok Hillsboro. Get with the program!
