Contracts are issued in this manner all the time.
I f*cking hope not!!!!

Are you saying two wrongs make a right?? Is that how you rationalize corruption is okay in your mind?

What is relevant is that the St.George movement to incorporate is comepletely led by VOLUNTEERS.

And at least two of those "volunteers" (neither of whom even live in the proposed St George City area) are hoping to make a financial windfall out of the creation of a new city and school system.

I have repeatedly said I would withold judgement until there is more information. I have further stated that so long as they are VOLUNTEERS, it really doesn't matter. If they seek a contract with the new city, or seek office, than further investigation would be warranted.

So are you saying you are against the incorporation because you think that someday, these men might seek profit from the area? It seems silly to dismiss the premise of an argument and the will of the people because you are assuming that corruption could possibly follow the incorporation.

I do not accept corruption in any way,shape,or form. I do know that it is a constant battle that every community faces, and I see no reason that St.George would be exempt from having to fight off those same sorts of people.

I will not, however, let my fear of corrupt individuals change my course of action, or change my inherent belief that the St.George incorporation is the right thing to do.
