I copied Mary Pat Clarke and Jack Young on my first email and second responses to PaulI's emails. I haven't heard anything yet but I am sure that one of them will get back to us soon.<BR>
<BR>
Also, Major Buzzuro, Officers Doug Gibson and Jonathan Walther, and Walter Brown and David Hill of the CVCBD. I am waiting to hear. I will not be able to follow up with phone calls until tomorrow.<BR>

Has anyone been in touch with Mary Pat or Jack Young about this yet? I would think they would be advocates and probably be willing to write a new City Council law about dog control and consequences for dog owners. I mean something beyond the dog leashing law that addresses the issues that Paul mentioned.<BR>
