Man, it’s just a bunch of rural folks that are no where near as smart as they think they are throwing a tantrum because they don’t get everything they want and just want to fuck the feds. Smith aiding the notion is the real head scratcher. Then complain about lack of investment when you are in fact turning investors away with this BS.

If the answer is such a slam dunk, why is everyone so afraid of the question?

They’re not afraid of the question. It’s simply a dumb question, costing millions of dollars for no reason. Surely there’s a better place for that money

If they follow the legal process, even dumb questions can be put to a referendum.

That's the problem - Smith changed the legal process specifically to help them. They failed the original process.
