The Raleigh City Council steps back from the brink a weensy bit and rescinds its garbage disposal ban. Not without controversy, of course:
“Where’s the shared sense of sacrifice?” asked council member Rodger Koopman, an Air Force veteran, who said giving up garbage disposals is minor compared with the hardships of Iraq. “If you do support the troops, be willing to suck it up just a little bit.”
Raleigh spokesthings Rainy, Neusie, and Hammy the Hammer could not be reached for comment.
