Comments
This bill would overrule the democratic process that defeated the ballot initiative last November by a margin of 67% to 33%. This bill is sour grapes that the County BoS lost their pet project.
11,784 voted Yes - 32.96%
23,969 voted No - 67.04%

This bill should be withdrawn. That such an end run around an overwhelming majority of the people's will is shameful. I hope Del Landes will apologize to his constitutents & amend his disregard for our votes by withdrawing this bill.
