A Kentucky community is discussing ways to fight the U.S. Army's possible option of transporting weapons of mass destruction down its streets.

Tuesday night, the Richmond city commission heard the first reading of an ordinance that would prohibit chemical weapons from being moved through the community.

The commission and county officials are working on ordinances that would make it illegal to transport weapons through Richmond, something that the U.S. Army's chemical weapons plan may want to do.

Both the city and county government say they want to show solidarity and make their voices public.

A plan floated last week indicating the Army would seek to move mass chemical nerve agents from the Bluegrass Army Depot to another location outside of Kentucky.

This comes because of a potential funding cut that would not leave enough in the budget for the weapons at the depot to be disposed of on-site, as was originally planned.

After a twenty year fight, the Army had decided to neutralize the weapons on-site. County and city leaders say they're dissapointed in the apparent effort to backtrack on what was promised to the community.
