This makes it easy.
The city allows for more comments forcing a vote.
Voters are willing to PAY for the vote(because they signed the petition for the special vote)
and........
Whichever way it goes all the politicians can wash their hands and say it's the voters will.
Typical pass the buck politicians.
I wish they'd just say "can't afford it" and be done with it. Or conversely say we're doing it.

But allowing he petition absolves them of any responsibility and makes the stadium vote a moot political point that can't hurt their re-election campaigns.

Bless their little hearts.......
