Linda, I am confused by your message. You argue for YES but indicate that you have voted NO.

I too voted no. In a time when any regulations to protect the environment and its wild inhabitants are anathema even such an informal vote is doomed but it would be great if all who agreed with the premise would vote. I’m pretty sure people don’t enjoy licensing their dogs but it’s come to be accepted as a norm. Linda Orkin Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 21, 2018, at 8:16 AM, Marie P.
