The Philipstown Board<\/a> has their next meeting scheduled for this Thursday where their proposed ordinance<\/a> prohibiting guns on town property may come up. \u00a0The issue has gotten much attention from area gunnies, more than I originally expected, \u00a0including people from Garrison Fish & Game<\/a> and Putnam Fish & Game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Local politicians are getting in on the act too. \u00a0Greg Ball mailed out a district wide flyer<\/a> announcing a rally will be held outside Town Hall prior to Thursdays scheduled meeting. \u00a0This was picked up by ILA and redistributed<\/a> to their e-mail list last week. \u00a0Yesterday Putnam Co. Exec. candidate MaryEllen Odell<\/a> sent out a press release<\/a> denouncing the proposal and saying she will be there Thursday.<\/p>\n

Philipstown.info<\/a> covers the issue, “Gun Rights Rally Planned<\/a>.” \u00a0Supervisor Shea seems to be backpedaling on the issue. \u00a0He is up for re-election this fall and probably realizes this is going to hurt his campaign.<\/p>\n
