Broome and allies changed the law just to screw with St. George. That's the part that tripped the proponents up. Just get a majority vote to change it back to what it was (what it was for Central, and every other municipality before then) hold another vote and they win.

Should be easy, just time consuming.

BTW-that's why the "they should have just done what Central did" criticism rings hollow. They had to use a new law that had never been interpreted before that was designed to stop them. Central didn't have to deal with that. And to be clear, I don't live in St. George.

Agreed, but it's frustraing that the proponents could not figure that out.

Fix the law and try again and hope it's easy enough for the proponents to get it.

Tried to change the laws...failed on every attempt. The laws didn't change from when Central conducted their incorporation effort.
