Hey Everyone,

We have an update in the Albany Chickens campaign.  Save the date for

1/11/11 at 5:30 pm (This Tuesday)!!!

We need a good turnout.  This is our last opportunity for public comment.

We are also actively seeking speakers from uptown Albany as well as anyone who has expertise in real estate assessment who can speak in favor of chickens and those with some sort of medical expertise who can testify on issues of disease.

Alternatively we are looking for people with experience in any related field who would be interested in testifying and presenting papers from groups like the CDC etc.

Call me with any questions (518) 423-2963.

This is from Dominick Colsalaro:

On Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2011 at 5:30pm, the Common Council's Law Committee will meet to discuss Ord. No. 98.121.10 - Keeping of hens.  We will need a good turn out of supporters at this meeting.  Documentation as to the advantages of keeping hens will be helpful.  Also, Council members Herring and O'Brien are going to attack the proposal on health issues (chickens are dirty, disease carriers, etc).  So, whatever information you have to contradict this position will be needed.

So, crank up the hen supporters for next Tuesday.  The broader the city base of support is (different parts of the city) the better chance we will have to get it passed.

ps: I think the make-up of the Law Committee will prevent us from getting a "positive recommendation" from the committee, but, once the committee is done with the legislation, even it's a negative recommendation, I can bring it to the floor for a vote.

Thanks,

Dylan
