At the September 9 city council meeting, members voted 5-2 to repeal Ordinance 6411, the Nuclear Free Zone Act. Despite 53 testimonies in favor of retaining and enhancing it, and despite 400 signatures gathered in four short days, members of the council arrogantly felt they knew Olympian’s wishes better, and voted the ordinance down. Only two people had spoken in favor of repealing the ordinance.
