I called and left a nasty message at the Garden City Manager's office. I stated how disgusted I was at this criminal case and then stated "It's surprising to me that, in an election year, your focus is on jailing chicken owners. If you'd like to give me a call back, which I doubt since you're too concerned with jailing people for owning chickens, my number is..."

FYI for those who order from hatcheries or shipping your own birds - there is a 7 day comment period where you can comment on the changes,, this could increase our cost from 10 - 50 $ an order (depending on what is being shipped) on top of what we already pay for shipping costs!!!

The city manager is also the chief of police. Holding both positions violates state law but council went ahead and appointed him to the position. Clearly Garden City only follows the law that they want to.

The chief is a decent guy, he even wished me luck in fighting for the chickens. Most of the police (at least the older ones) have also been supportive.

Raz, the judge would happen to be a dem would he? Sounds like the same crap going on upstairs!

City manager and chief of police....... that seems like a conflict of interests to me.

It is according to state law. There is a lot of nonsense happening in this pissant town. I think we are trying to be like Detroit.
