Re: Council Approves Resolution Opposing Bill That Would Bar Governments From Dealing With Unions 

Perhaps Councilman Anderson could explain exactly how the bill in question would prevent local firefighters from holding a Christmas fundraiser for children?  Did they really include that language in the bill?  Or, is it just another way to use emotion to get his way? 

And, just out of curiosity….how much campaign money does Councilman Anderson get from the unions?  Not trying to imply a lack of impartiality in our government leaders, but it is probably relevant here.
