There has to be revenue coming in, for there to be payments going out. As of today, there is no city of St.George.
Are you trying to claim the organizing efforts have not generated any money? What about the $18,000+ they claimed to raise one evening at their last fund raiser? And what about the money that has gone into their little collection boxes every time they set up a signature tent at a shopping center?

I personally don't think that little amount of money is what they are after. They are both working for a much bigger payoff later.

No, I've stated that both Rainey and White have a questionable history when it comes to integrity in dealing with taxpayers money. You don't seem to care about that.

You seem to believe that in spite of their underhanded method of getting Rainey a state contract (for which he had no experience in performing), there is no reason to think there is any possibility they might be looking to feather their nest even more with the taxpayers of St George.

According to you and others he is already feathering his nest.

Should we stop St. George because the guy MIGHT stick it to us too???

The fundraiser you are referring to was several weeks ago. The movement started MONTHS ago. Thousands have been spent on signs, brochures, web development etc. Now for the first time we have a small bank to kick things up a notch:)

Actually, no. What I stated was:

"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, "
