I prefer Good Lord. Thanks.
There is one thing that needs changing in the incorporation procedure at some point and that is amending the "no time limit" for gathering signatures on an incorporation petition. Now the process allows years, even decades theoretically, to gather signatures.
Imagine the signature certification nightmare for a clerk of court trying to ascertain whether persons who signed a petition 5 years ago still lives at the same address or is even still alive.
A recall petition allows 6 months to gather 25% of the eligible voters. If there is a burning desire by voters to incorporate an area, 6 months or maybe a year should be plenty of time to get the needed amount of signatures on an incorporation petition.

I agree 100% with you on this. an unlimited timeframe is ridiculous. I think it should be 6 months for smaller areas and a year for larger ones. I don't know the cutoff I would choose, I just am throwing this out.
But, you don't do this to an effort already underway. That's not how we do things in our society.
By the way, I emailed Sen. Nevers expressing my concerns with his bill. Any bets as to whether he or his staff will write me back?
