<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of our towns in Central Mass is beginning to explore a possible ordinance banning nips, so I was wondering if there are any towns/cities in the state that have passed such an ordinance and would be willing to share it with me so I can
pass it along. The only community I’m aware of that has a nips ban in place is Wareham, but I’d be interested in seeing what others have done or are thinking of doing. If anyone also has advice for bringing this kind of ordinance to the community, I’m sure
they would appreciate that as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
