It's Unanimous 'Whereas' Is Banned From All City Documents.

The City Council voted unanimously to ban the word 'Whereas' from the city. The word shall no longer be used by the city and by all businesses within city limits. Whereas the only nay sayer was the city attorney. Apparently you can't create a legal document with 'Whereas'.

So what caused this turn of events? The council all agreed that the straw that broke the Whereas back was the proposal to ban single-use bags.

Everyone agreed that the Ban Single-Use Bags was OK Whereas there were just too many Whereas in The Whereas document.

The council told the Ban Single-Use Bags Laguna to rewrite the proposal and leave out any use or reference to Whereas.

Note: This is satire and not to be taken seriously. As for the city council you can assume they're satire come to life.

The Ban Single-Use ordinance was put together by the Laguna Beach Visitors Bureau. It is a real document. Now why would they care one way or the other? Whereas the bureau is suppose to promote tourism not be a pain in my single-use bag. Your city helps fund the bureau. Is this a proper use of city funds?
