The ridiculously dramatic title of this thread gets a laugh out of me every time I open this board.

You forget that originally Nevers started out with a bill to block ALL incorporations.

Now because of some pressure they amended their bill to block ALL incorporations statewide except SG, but SG is being told to be ready for Nov. 4th. or else.

Of course you know all this, and you're just trying to muddy the waters.

And for Cricket chirping in, if you believe it's over dramatic fine, but I think most fair minded people find out that writing laws and making them retroactive to stop legitimate petitions is wrong.

And if you can't see powerful people in govt. using their political muscle to screw the people who are following the law as it now stands, I can't help you out at all.

Again, if there is not enough support for an election, why are these people including Russian so up and arms? Why not let these people simply fall on their face? What are ya'll afraid of?

You really don't think Nevers petition restrictions have anything to do with St. George? If not, you are either naive or stupid.

Nevers proposal was to simply limit St. George's efforts to get signees to the petition. Now whether or not they can get those signatures in the now instituted time frame of 18 months is another issue. Nevers is your typical big government Democrat. The fact that he brought this up, simply means that someone is greasing his palm. Why else would a democrat propose legislation that doesn't affect his area and then have the restrictions further tightened by another Democrat in Dorsey?
The simple fact is this is Democrats being Democrats. Wanting to limit the power and choice of the citizens.

And as someone else said, if St. George is just some small time threat, why go through all this to set a timetable.
