Please, please, please read this Ashland Daily Tidings article by Vicki Aldous!!

I'm so happy to know that I'm not the only one fed up with anti-dog sentiment in Ashland! And at the end there's a great comment. I gripe about taxes but John T brings up the loss of tourist income from the excessive ban on dogs.

"Is Ashland Unfriendly to Dogs?"

A DAILY Drive to the Dog Park

While we're on the topic of why it makes sense to limit dog+human access to public spaces, let's talk a little about GAS! No, not the noxious stuff that our furry friends sometimes emit. Let's talk about the stuff that is $4 per gallon, causes global warming, and is generally considered evil by Ashlanders.

Let's talk about the fact that nearly all of us who frequent the dog park HAVE TO DRIVE THERE! As we drive, we pass parks, schoolgrounds, and practice fields that are EMPTY! I repeat E M P T Y!! Devoid of users, but replete with taxpayer-funded, well-watered, meticulously mowed grass.

Oh, and did I say DEVOID OF USERS?

Does this sound foolish and wasteful to anyone but me?
