| Yes. the voters will accept the ordinances. They did when the last referendum went to a vote. Then as years dragged on the city made changes asked for with THAT referendum. Yes. Lazy voter's way out. They'll go for it.
UNLESS unless someone tells them what it is they are voting for. Not just a number, a place on the ballot, but an issue that turns out to be illegal after Prop 207.
They will STILL accept and vote YES. But not me........ |

| Word on the street is that Harris will get less than 10 per cent of the vote. Perhaps he should stick to petition tampering. He does better at that! |

| Harris won on a technicality. Despite the written laws and the intent of the legislature to prevent petition tampering including the exclusionary rules followed by Helen Lehr, the city was ordered to remove ONLY the lines Harris altered because the affidavit on those petitions was found to be phrased incorrectly. The wording used on the affidavit was not able to support the law the legislature passed. Ironically, it was the sample affidavit the legislature itself provided that was at fault (the sample affidavit was not written by the city clerk or the city attorney).
The truth is Harris was cited by the court as having altered those lines and knowingly changing addresses he knew were wrong which is why in its conclusion the court wrote:
“But this argument was based on the incorrect assumption that Harris’s affidavit contained the language required by §19-112C. Had Harris’s affidavit complied with subsection C his alterations as found by the trial court would have rendered false every affidavit attached to a signature page containing an alteration, invalidating those signatures. Because those affidavits did not so comply however Harris’s alterations of the signers’ information outside their presence, although a violation of §19-112A, do not render the affidavits false, or do not invalidate the unaltered signatures on the attached signature pages.” Harris v. City of Bisbee, et al. 2 CA-CV 2007-0160; page 17, line 24.
Nobody targeted Mr. Harris, no one tried to entrap him and no vendetta was at work. Helen Lehr and the city only attempted to follow the direction of the legislature. |

| Upson is right in one context, who authored the affidavit doesn't matter. There is no indication that either side set out to capitalize on anyone's errors. I don't know where he gets that. The issue of the affidavit was only mentioned to respond to those who incorrectly blamed MacKinnon or the city for it. ARS and the law prior to this case required THAT affidavit to be used.
The simple fact is Harris did something questionable by anyone's standards. The only logical reason was to ensure that his petitions had the necessary number of valid signatures to take it to the voters; but don't dissemble the facts, he didn't do it for the people (the people would also prefer not to have their petitions tampered with), he did it for himself and his chickens. A true hero of the people, right up there with Tyson Foods. |

| I had to read it several times. Was that real? Was he actually that paranoid as to think the city was going to arrest him and did anyone else read that as conspiring to commit perjury? |
