As city leaders remain torn over imposing a new noise ordinance in Tampa, discussions from the public have gone silent — but not by choice.
On Wednesday, instead of a crowded meeting to discuss Tampa’s new noise ordinance, there was nothing to see but a paper sign that read: "The upcoming noise ordinance meetings have been cancelled [sic]. Community members that have questions should contact their City Council member."
Back in January, city leaders voted to pass a new “one-size-fits-all” noise ordinance, with a plan to look at re-working it for some entertainment areas before it actually went into effect.
But last week, by a 4-3 majority, council members voted to move forward with repealing that same ordinance before it was ever implemented.
