What midstream? What papers have been filed on the incorporation of SG?

I don't think all of the parish should vote on the SG issue either.

Why are you against hearing from the will of the people affected by a SG incorporation? Are you that autocratic and anti-democracy?

In this case, why would the law be retroactive?


I am uncomfortable here because I do not have a "side" on this. But, I am curious about the issue. Why do they want to make a retroactive law? In nearly every case, I am opposed to THAT.

Don't be silly, a petition has been put together and voters in the proposed SG are signing it daily. You know that.

Unfortunately a legislator wants to stop the people's right to petition retroactive to January first of this year. And you don't think that's changing the rules in midstream???

The right of people to incorporate is written into the law. It doesn't give "outsiders" the right to veto their wishes.

The law was written in 1898 and numerous cities were formed this way. Now that some of the big money, big govt. types don't like it; they are trying to change the rules in midstream. I see you are one of them.
