Stop BSL 
Jan 17 2012, at a work session of the Mt.Clemens City Commission, the Dangerous Animal Ordinance was up for review. The Animal Control Supervisor for Macomb Co. was present and answered questions, that reflected to wordage used in the city ordinance (Dangerous Animal) was redundant and that if the B.S.L. was eliminated from the ordinance, it would accomplish the goal of dealing with Dangerous Animals (without Breed Specification) We have two new commissioners from the last election that are against B.S.L. Happy to say ,we have four votes to repeal the B.S.L. from the ordinance.This should be an agenda item on the next City Commission Meeting(Feb 6,2012 at 7:00 P.M.) City Hall
