This is MORE than a retaliation of the Rooster bill.
...
Ohara's rooster bill has now solidly alienated what may or may not be a significant block of voters.
While there is a sizable, VOCAL, contingent of pro rooster voters, I would think the NO rooster vote would be just as large, if not larger. During an election it also won't make a difference how loud the pro rooster supporters are. They can't intimidate voters in the same way as they did council members when they cornered them in chambers at a recent meeting. They can't roll boulders across the roads to polling stations, unless they also want to block their own votes.
I hope roosters do not become the defining issue of our next election, although sadly, there's a good chance it could overshadow all of the other problems in our district that are far more important, long term and short term.
