It is obvious that the Mayor and Council still want to be able to force this ballpark on the public. There is an easy solution to this issue. The Mayor and Council agree to put the question of using tax payer money to fund this stadium on the ballot voluntarily. If they would agree to do this, the petitioners might be willing to drop the petition. Whether you are for or against this project, reasonable people should be able to agree that a vote by the people that will be required to pay for the project is fair. As they argue about a few signatures being valid or not, the majority of the signitures that have been verified show that a substantional amount of people feel this issue should be voted on. Put it on the ballot and let the people decide in November.
