there was overwhelming support of the
Chapter 5 rewrite. Desite a lot of really good fighting and putting
this off the shaved-off measures were passed this am. We were never
able to touch article 17 which is the BSL banning PIT BULLS as if
they open that one up it would go under State Law which currently
prohibits BSL.
