HOT OFF THE WIRE: SHAMMY WON'T TAKE YOUR SHIT

BANDON, Ore. (AP) - Pit bulls are still welcome in this coastal city. Councilman Mike Claassen proposed a ban on pit bull terriers and similar breeds, but couldn't find support from Mayor Mary Schamehorn or any other member of the council. Scores of residents who attended this week's council meeting also objected. Schamehorn asked them whether they supported the pit bull ban. Only one man raised his hand. Schamehorn, who called the proposed ban "absurd," promised to press for a change in council rules that would make it tougher to get such items placed on the council agenda. this is Shammy II.
