May 19: Council should govern real issues

Re: “Ban horse-drawn carriages by 2023, Coun. Ben Isitt says,” May 14. I am perpetually dumbfounded at the nonsense from this council member. First, he says the horses are an outdated “mode of transportation.

I am perpetually dumbfounded at the nonsense from this council member. First, he says the horses are an outdated “mode of transportation.”

It is a nostalgic tourist attraction on specific routes and tours, returning to the same spot it starts. What better way of experiencing our rich-in-history destination than this?

The animals are cared for, and God designed them to pull and do things.

It’s time we put our adult pants on and run the matters that are key to this destination, such as cleaning up the core and addressing the focuses on affordable housing. Let’s curb the stupidities of “big oil” lawsuits, any more bike lanes, removing tourist attractions that sadly we can’t afford and govern the real issues.

Stop screwing with the garnish and start working on the meat.
