It seems silly to me that it's pretty clear greed and/or corruption may be the driving force behind the efforts of at least two of the organizers but you just dismiss it as being irrelevant as long as they succeed in getting a new city established.
Clear based on what FACTS?
After the signatures are collected, the residents of St.George will vote whether to approve the new city or not. It awards no contracts, elects no officials, and creates no revenue. It merely establishes the city. What happens from there is where you concerns regarding corruption could be warranted. You being against the incorporation effort out of a fear of corruption makes zero sense, considering what city you and I live in.

You keep repeatedly referring to White and Rainey as VOLUNTEERS (you keep capitalizing the word so I did, too) as if they are a modern Snow White, pure of heart and soul.
I've pointed out it's highly likely both of them have financial incentives causing them to help create a new city and school district.
As far as your long-winded paragraph about the contract awarding process only AFTER a city is established, you're naive if you think White and Rainey don't believe their involvement with establishing the new city will help them get a head start on getting any contracts with the new city or they won't call in some chits when the time comes for taxpayers money to start being doled out by the new city and school system.
Remember, neither Rainey nor White even live in St George.
