“Dumpster Fire,” Former Council Members Speak Out
Former Medicine Hat mayor and city councillor Ted Clugston isn’t mincing his words when it comes to the current state of affairs at the municipality.
“There’s a dumpster fire burning here next door, it’s called City Hall,” said Clugston during an interview with the Medicine Hat Owl by the courthouse. “We need to call 911 and put it out immediately. The first hundred days as far as I’m concerned.”
📹 Urban Hen Debate Ruffles Feathers at City Hall
At Tuesday’s council meeting, Medicine Hat resident Kristen Mann presented on behalf of CLUCK, a local advocacy group pushing for urban hen ownership within city limits. The proposal is simple but controversial: amend the city’s Land Use Bylaw to replace the word “chickens” with “roosters” in the definition of livestock. That change, Mann argued, would effectively allow hens to be kept as pets under existing bylaws while prohibiting noisy roosters.
