<DIV>This does remind me of living in Tucson when this 'hot' issue
was proposed and the outrage it incited from so many including the entire
Ronstadt family who are early signatures to the Arizona Territory and Statehood
petitions. At the same time we were in Tucson, the Italian mayor of Sault Ste.
Marie attempted to pass a bylaw for English only in Sault Ste. Marie. I have no
idea who his target was but the greater population of Sault Ste. Marie consists
of his own people, Italians. There are many groups in SSM with their own
language of communication.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I was speaking with people in Tucson and admitted I was from Sault
Ste. Marie, ON, Canada, they would ask,'Isn't that the city where the mayor
wants to pass English only laws?' SSM certainly achieved a short lived notoriety
and Arizona empathy with that one.<BR>-------<BR>wahjeh<BR>rolland
