[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 76493459, member: 313046"] I haven't seen a clear articulation of what the opposition's points are. The councilman in the OP was quoted as saying that he thought the legislation was redundant (since the state could cover it) and lacked teeth, and that he was interested in making government more streamlines. Assuming he's being sincere in his claims, then swiftly moving to repeal is something of an odd response. At best, he's arguing that he doesn't want it to be the job of the town to get involved in these matters. But he also said that a bunch of his constituents didn't want the ordinance passed and I find it hard to believe that their big concern is an extra layer of bureaucracy. I found a bit of the back story, from when this ordinance was first being proposed: [URL="https://tristatealert.com/chambersburg-borough-council-meeting-heats-up-with-a-discussion-of-lgbtq-rights/"]Chambersburg Borough Council meeting heats up with a discussion of LGBTQ rights - Tri-State Alert[/URL] It seems there's a bit of a power struggle going on.
