On Wednesday, city councils passed laws into effect that could change the flow of cities to operate with increased efficiency.
In a move that surprised many, Dieringer City in Konold County passed a series of new laws legalizing gambling, cracking down on tardiness with lineups, and banning music outside of earbuds and wake up music.
Jacob Fehr of Dieringer City announced three new laws as mayor at assembly Wednesday morning.
Fehr, along with the city council met twice at 8:20 a.m. and at 8:45 a.m. and settled on three laws to pass.
Gambling with American Legion Buckeye Boys State (ALBBS) money is now legal inside Dieringer City.
Additionally, no music is to be played on speakers besides the music used to wake delegates in the morning.
Finally, any delegates tardy to official lineups by three minutes will be fined $100 ALBBS money with the fine doubling in each sequential tardiness.
“I think these laws will help the city run smoothly and give people incentives to be a part of the team and not go rogue,” the mayor stated about his reasoning on implementation.

Dieringer City residents were concerned about a quality of life decrease in ALBBS.
The Mayor addressed concerns about the effects of these laws. “Everything will fall into place and stressing about stuff is not worth it.”
Andrew Platton, the president of Dieringer City Council, is excited about the positive impacts of these new laws.
“I believe people are going to have a lot more fun, and there will be less tardiness, which will improve efficiency,” Platton said.
Platton is adapting to his new job as the City Council President and leading the city.
“I have to be a leader and try to help people have fun but also obey the rules.”
Dieringer City will have to adjust to these new policies, as they are effective immediately. One thing is clear: Dieringer City officials aren’t afraid to make bold decisions. `
