The College Park City Council is debating whether to formally make English the city’s official language. Council member Jack Perry, who introduced the proposal, says the change would benefit immigrants and “promote efficiency” in the city. Others say it’s an unnecessary measure that would make some residents feel unwelcome.
What do you think of the proposal? Would making English the official language help or hurt College Park?

only if it is proper English and the council takes a test to see if they can stay or go … the sports bars would have to close and places like Ceol (http://www.ceolpub.com/) would open by law to celebrate Ulysses … the ramifications are endless … maybe all the poets and novelists can be moved to College Park and the plumbers and electricians will have to move to Hyattsville.
