This was an idea a constituent of his was very passionate about and was pushing him to introduce the bill. As a courtesy to his constituent, the person he was elected to represent, he allowed them to draft the idea and the discussion to start. <BR/><BR/>As soon as the idea was out there and his constituent was able to have some discussion and see how much people love their dogs and how most people treat them responsibly, he killed (last night). This is why Senators are elected and he was serving those who elected him and giving them a chance to present their case in the public arena. Please do not call him an idiot when he is more thoughtful than most elected officials out there.Gabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15506287060622062982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13222210.post-43628723509557432152009-03-02T08:52:00.000-08:002009-03-02T08:52:00.000-08:00There is no reason for your family to worry about ...There is no reason for your family to worry about your dog Bosco. This bill has little chance of even seeing a hearing, and I don't believe the Senator from Washington County had it drafted with the intent to push the legislation. <BR/><BR/>There are a few Oregon families who have had their lives turned upside down by an uncontrolled, aggressive pitbull, and my guess is that they feel as passionately about the issue as you do and insisted their elected representative do something to prevent the same harm from occuring to other Oregon families. <BR/>In reality, you are right. There are more important things that the legislature should be addressing than banning ownership of pets. This bill hasnt even received a FIRST reading in the Senate chamber, and I doubt it will go any further than that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
