Wow, sounds like a challenging personality. From the excerpt below, sounds like he knows a municipal law would have no standing, and is interesting in pushing for a state law. Can't say that there's likely to be much support for him from the rest of the council.

"Before he leaves office, Skolnik said, he has a list of goals he wants to accomplish. That includes winning the council's endorsement for state legislation to ban handguns in public buildings, erecting a plaque honoring veterans at the renovated terminal of the Portland International Jetport, and creating a way to put video of council committee meetings on the city website so people can see it live or in archives."

**UPDATE**

It looks like this is going to die on the table. The lawyer from Fairfax is no longer coming, but he will come and represent the people of Maine if this measure goes past tomorrow night. There will be a meeting about it in October. Odds are 90% that it will die tomorrow night, and MOCA will be there to make sure that it does.

I looked at the website, but couldn't find what you're describing. Could you post a link, or do I need to establish a membership?
