Great news potty-mouths: You can now curse more freely in the city of Utica

Cursing is officially legal in the city of Utica.

City council members voted at a meeting Tuesday to repeal a city ordinance that banned the use of obscene language in front of women and children. The vote came after a resident pointed out the possibly-unenforceable ordinance to the council last month.

“Personally I don't do such things,” said council member Brad O’Donnell, who sponsored the amendment to repeal the ordinance. “I don't think anybody should go to jail for it.”...

“I think there are many things that are legal that I don't agree with,” said O’Donnell, who added that he’d make clowns illegal “with a wave of my hand” if he could. “But yeah, I just don't ... I think it's not enforceable, I think it's a bad look to have it in our code of ordinances.”...
Uh-oh. He had to spill the beans. Now everyone knows that clowns are legal in Utica. This won't end well.
