Comments re: Supervisor's Meeting Tonight - Peace and Good Order, Discharge of Firearms

Nate: I've posted this in a couple of places on FB and Nextdoor. If you think there's some merit, please consider sending it out to your email list. I've heard from several people that it was your notice the last time--for the first meeting where the ordinance was discussed--that they became aware this was even being discussed.

Thanks for your help.
