Norm, I thought you were up on this leash law business as you participated in several forum threads about it, and I think you were one of the advocates for the leash law.

Joe,

You are correct.  I was a very agressive advocate for the leash law.  In fact as a result of some public comments I made at a Board meeting that Tom Cetolla decided to look into the matter. I also made public comments at a County Commissioners meeting. At the time there was Rabies in the Pines and in the County and there was an incident of a dog attacking a property owner.  Another problem was with dog owners not cleaning up after their dogs.

I was pleased when the ordinance was passed.  But until the other day I was under the impression that the ordinance was toothless.  I thought it lacked any penalties.  I don't know why I had that misleading impression.
