Electric dog fence issue dies not with a bark, but with a whimperBy RICK GREEN, LACONIA DAILY SUNLACONIA — A proposal to tighten the city's dog-control law was put to sleep by the City Council on Tuesday night. Electric fences generally feature a wire buried on the perimeter of a yard. After the meeting, Newbold Le Roy, who has an electric fence, spoke to Burrell in the lobby outside the council chambers. He said he was “highly disappointed” at the council's stance, especially after the council subcommittee authorized city attorneys to draw up a revised ordinance for council consideration. “The state law says the council has the right to take preventative measures and they are not doing that, so that just tells me the City Council doesn't care about the people that it represents.”
