[hr]You are right Sammy. The thing is on hold because of the appeal.
However.
It was the City Council that told MacKinnon to appeal the court's ruling.
The Council could have accepted Hoggatt's ruling and sent the petitions to the
County where they would have been accepted (MacKinnon believes this) and made available
for a ballot. There was no need for an expensive Jeff Harris election. The referendum and the charter
amendments could have been on the same ballot. In fact if the referendum had been on the ballot
there might have been a better turnout instead of the RECORD LOW VOTER TURNOUT.
When the city appealed Hoggatt's ruling they put the thing in Limbo.
Right-o. The laws cant become laws until a decision is made and the city goes along with it.
MacKinnon has said he believes the petitions will be accepted. He and others have said
they believe the voters will approve the Ordinances. But, we won't know until they stop fighting.
Jeff Harris may have started this but MacKinnon and the City Council are keeping it going.

How's your yard? Clean and tidy?

Actually, what I really meant was, "there's no point in trying to talk sense into delusional people." hammered

(I mean, seriously! For example, you ever try talking to one of those "9/11 was an inside job" nutcases? It's not much different than the "Elvis is still alive," "the government is hiding ET at Area 51," and "everyone at Bisbee City Hall is corrupt" crowds!) looney

First, you say this is a vendetta by Mckinnon...then admit that the council had to vote to approve an appeal.
Makes it a bit hard for it to be a vendetta by one person if a group of people decided to do something.

The Ordinances may ultimately be put to a vote by the public, but only the decision of the voters will determine who the the real thorn in the side, delayer of law, and general pain in the ass has been. Given the public response to YOUR recommendation against the charter changes, I would suspect that low voter turn out might be attributed to the lack of influence you have with the voters.

My yard compared to yours is a garden spot.

It would appear that the Toxic Tongue is fit to be tied. The old manic mouth doesn't do well when he can't take a bite out of the replies. shut up

Maybe he needs to use that toilet paper so we can stop calling him skidmark?

Is anyone else feeling unsettled after the fire. I am so jumpy I feel like I am expecting something to happen. Is this normal??? looney

Guest

Yeah Jean, I think everyone is feeling a bit out of their element, it was a close call.

It has been a few months. Does anyone know what happened to the guy who set the fire?
