Making Our Voice Heard

In just a few minutes I will be posting the original proposal, presented almost a year ago, to legalize urban dairy goats in Ingham County, Michigan.

If you are interested in this issue, please consider reading the proposal and writing to your county commissioner before the next Animal Control Advisory Board meeting (end of November). If you want to, feel free to write to multiple people! Explain why this issue is important to you and how you and your community will benefit from legalizing dairy goats. If you were positively affected by the recent urban chicken legalization (circa 2008 or 2009), please mention that too. Urban agriculture in Ingham County (Lansing in particular) has gotten a lot of attention and support in the last few years. Let's show our governmental bodies what the next step is!


You can determine the county commissioner for your district by going to:  http://www.ingham.org/BC/Commissioners/CommDistMap_ALL.pdf

If you prefer to email your commissioner, you can find their email address on this page (click on the district # next to their name to be taken to a separate page with their email address):
http://bc.ingham.org/

If you prefer to mail your commissioner a letter, address your envelope to:

Your Commissioners Name HERE 
Ingham County Courthouse
P.O. Box 319
Mason, MI  48854    

P.S. If you write a letter, please let me know, so I have a rough idea of how many letters have been sent out.
