Some people were upset because Mayor Stokes inserted political opinions into his 'state of the city' address, but I just thought his comments were amusing. My name is 'Constitutional Chris Burleson,' and I'm the one he was referring to when he said, 'One candidate appears not to be in favor of government rules or regulations.'. Stokes’ assertion that I don't support the rule of law is, no doubt, due to my promise that I will 'relax chicken prohibition.' But maybe he didn't fully understand the animal code: Chickens are already legal: 'ORDINANCE NO. 19994' made a loophole so that the VIPs of Cherokee Village may have chickens, and it reads as follows: 'The prohibitions of Section 9 above shall not apply where the creatures are... for... agricultural fairs... Judging Purposes... educational, etc.' As mayor, I will presume all chickens to be for 'judging purposes' and consider all CV residents VIPs worthy of the 'section 9' exemption.
