The rights of voters are under debate in the Senate after the House of Representatives passed the For the People Act of 2021 intending to expand voting rights.
The House of Representatives just passed the For the People Act of 2021 almost solely with Democratic support and is now moving on to the Senate where it will need 60 votes in order to pass the filibuster. The act removes partisan gerrymandering by requiring independent commissions to do redistricting. It also expands voter registration and vote by mail, limits campaign finance contributions and limits conflicts of interest in government by making it so representatives can’t serve on for profit company boards while in office. Additionally, it makes the tax return disclosure tradition a rule.
Northern Star Editor’s note: The columnist is part of Sunrise DeKalb, which is the organization that advocated for backyard chickens and is partially responsible for the advisory referendum on the issue
DeKalb County should allow its community members to own backyard chickens, and community members should vote in favor of the referendum on the April 2021 ballot. DeKalb County residents have been wrangling with municipal codes restricting ownership of chickens in residential areas for years. The issue has reappeared consistently, and it now returns on the upcoming 2021 ballot.
When the DeKalb County board voted to send consideration of backyard chickens back to the planning committee last November, board member Jerry Osland said, “You’re also going to attract every coyote and fox around after these chickens,” according to WSPY News. Osland said, “That’s just the way this works, [sic] backyard chickens is not going to go over well.”
