Due to the massive public health and safety problem (what?) that deer are causing in Georgetown, our fearless City Council has drafted an ordinance to punish any Georgetown resident that feeds deer on their own property.
At the next Council meeting, Tuesday, March 10, 2015, an ordinance punishing those who feed deer on their private property will be presented to the Council for approval. The revelant description is:
"An Ordinance of the City Council of the City Of Georgetown, Texas
Amending Chapter 8.05 of the Code of Ordinances Relating to “The
Intentional Feeding of Deer;” Creating an Offense; Providing a Penalty
Clause; Repealing Conflicting Ordinances; Providing a Severability
Clause; and Establishing an Effective Date".
I wonder if folks will be cited and fined for feeding rabbits and other wildlife? Do I put up a sign at the rabbit feeder that no deer are allowed? This seems unenforceable and a waste of the city resources and adds to the regulation bloat.
Sorry folks, just another solution looking for a problem that our City Council can solve by passing more regulations restricting the liberty and property rights of its citizens. Perhaps we would all be better served if the Council focused on reducing the growth in the city budget and debt instead of passing feckless deer feeding regulations.
Contact your city council person and let them know what your priorities are for them to work on.
