YES!!!! My City Council updates are back after summer vacation and better than ever. Observe, as I cherry pick the bills introduced and issues dealt with and point out whether they are good or not without any thought or consideration:
————————————————————————————————-
Plastic Bag Prohibition
FOR the purpose of prohibiting retail stores from using certain types of checkout
bags; defining certain terms; authorizing civil enforcement action; imposing
criminal penalties; and providing for a special effective date.
Sponsors: James B. Kraft
ORDINANCE
JUDICIARY AND LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATIONS COMMITTEE
Yessir, my girlfriend James B. Kraft, Mr. “Plastic Bags are Nazis” himself, has his ambitious bill to rid the city of Baltimore from the evils of plastic bags introduced. I can’t wait to see what kinds of criminal penalties could be levied for such infractions if the bill passes!
————————————————————————————————-
Public Information Campaign – “Dirt Bikes” – Unregistered Motorcycles and
Similar Vehicles
FOR the purpose of requesting the Baltimore Police Commissioner and the
Director of Transportation to develop a public information campaign to inform
Baltimore City residents which two-wheeled motorized vehicles are permitted on
City streets and the penalties for violating Baltimore City Code pertaining to the
operation, sale, transfer, or storage of prohibited vehicles.
Sponsors: Sharon Green Middleton
RESOLUTION
PUBLIC SAFETY AND HEALTH COMMITTEE
Those dirt bikes are annoying as shit and people need to know a) it, and b) how their dirt bikes will be confiscated and converted to BCPD dirt bikes if they don’t stop riding them on the city streets (I’ve seen squads of BCPD dirt bikes all over the place, I’m not making it up).
————————————————————————————————-
Parking Tax – Tax Rate
FOR the purpose of establishing a new, uniform tax rate for parking a motor
vehicle on a parking lot or in a garage; providing for a special effective date; and
generally relating to the imposing and administration of the parking tax.
Sponsors: City Council President (Administration)
YES!!!! WOOOOOO!!!! A PARKING TAX!!! SWEEEEEET!!!!!
Keep up the good work you crazy kids.
