A delay in the final vote on whether residents of one Treasure Coast city should allow residents to have chickens in their backyards. <\/p>\n
City Commissioners were expected to vote on the issue last night but after hearing from people on both sides of the issue, they tabled the discussion until September. <\/p>\n
Commissioner Campbell Rich says there’s no hurry.<\/p>\n
“I’m spending a lot of time speaking to a great many people and there’s a lot of concern and there’s no homeless chickens pleading to be cooped. So I don’t understand the rush here.” <\/p>\n
Supporters say having chickens would allow them to have their own food supply. Opponents are concerned about noise and the odor that could come with chickens. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A delay in the final vote on whether residents of one Treasure Coast city should allow residents to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":316152,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[85000,23311,23307,84998,84996,115,171,173,172,84997,807,84999,729,221],"class_list":["post-317401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-port-st-lucie","tag-clear-channel-miami","tag-coast-to-coast","tag-glenn-beck","tag-hannity","tag-jimmy-cefalo","tag-news","tag-port-st-lucie","tag-port-st-lucie-headlines","tag-port-st-lucie-news","tag-schnitt","tag-south-florida","tag-the-weather-channel-wall-street-journal","tag-traffic","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=317401"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317401\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/316152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=317401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=317401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
