The special meeting of the Common Council Legal Committee, to consider two resolutions related to the proposed Hudson Breathe Act, scheduled for Thursday at 6:00 p.m., has been canceled. So far, there has been no word shared publicly on whether the protest being organized by Back the Blue for that time in front of City Hall has been abandoned, or if it will go forward.
Update: Alderman John Rosenthal (Fourth Ward), who chairs the Legal Committee, sent Gossips this statement regarding the cancellation of the special meeting:
Last night, Mayor Johnson gave a speech, recognizing that many of the issues in the Breathe Act are critically important to the citizens of Hudson and our Police Department. I stand with the Mayor and echo his sentiments. I also share the Mayor's assessment that the Breathe Act cannot be put forward in its current form, due to potential and significant labor issues, safety issues, and litigation. In light of all of this, and after consultation with committee members, I have decided to cancel Thursday's special meeting of the Legal Committee. We will continue to work toward reform, in conjunction with input from Citizens of Hudson, PRAC and all members of the Hudson community.
