In CHICAGO?
This is a BIG F’IN DEAL!

It’s really, really hard to get a straight answer on what is allowed.

Many thanks to Daniel X. O’Neil for the photograph of me and the Clerk. My bad for leaving that out of the post. (Thanks also to Daniel for putting the entire event together!)

Anybody here involved in similar efforts in their own state or municipality? I’m kinda curious about Florida’s efforts in this vein and wondering what I could do to help.
