Mind your own business?

Call me old fashioned but I believe city councils should mind their own business.

You know … police, fire, streets, parks, water. The basics. They screw up those issues enough already.

Then there is Berkeley.

The Berkeley, Calif., City Council has voted 8 – 1 to mail coat hangers to 20 Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives who voted for the Stupak-Pitts pro-life amendment to the health care reform proposal.  The hangers are meant to symbolize “back-alley” abortions. 
 
Councilman Gordon Wozniak was the one dissenting vote. He told Family News in Focus that he is pro-choice, but he thinks the hangers are extreme. 
 
“We didn’t really ask the citizens whether they thought this was a good idea or an appropriate gesture,” he said.

Intergovernmental Relations class … what do you think?

Mind their own business … or not?
