The Chicago Tribune seems to have waited until today, which also happens to be the day the Elgin City Council convenes, to publish the article, Elgins new animal law wont cover 2 recent dog bites.   The article is about just that: two recent incidents involving dogs in Elgin.   Funny, because the Courier News…

In the March 16, 2010, Daily Herald article Elgin councilman says pit bull laws inevitable, Elgin City Councilman John Prigge once again puffs himself out like a blowfish and gives full rein to his bravado.   He says: I do believe something’s going to happen…I think it’s inevitable. I just pray to God it’s not…

I’ve had hours now to sit and read various blogs and news articles about how so-and-so or this or that organization defeated the Elgin “pit bull” proposal.   Councilman Prigge — blustery and self-entitled as ever — was the first to say it was he who was removing his own breed-specific proposal from consideration.  …

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual…

That’s right folks.   You heard right.   Seems someone does not want Tony or his site to say the things he’s been saying.   Does this not lend credence to our theory that there are big, shady cockroaches behind the Elgin Animal Control ordinance, and that there is more at work here than just…

I love that the Illinois Attorney General’s Open Meetings Act website is down: http://www.ag.state.il.us/government/open_meetings.html For some reason, I find that very fitting.   When we need transparency in government now more than ever, our government is broken.   Well, never mind that.   Let’s deal with the matter at hand.  

One of our favorite blogs, Caveat, acquired a copy of a letter that Denver Assistant City Attorney Kory Nelson has been or had been sending out to cities considering breed-specific legislation (BSL).   The letter says that threats of lawsuits against BSL are overblown and/or that should there be lawsuits they’re funded by dog fighters…
