City of Edgerton files lawsuit against two women over putting data center to a vote (youtube.com)
These two women got together and went out and got signatures, and got double the number of signatures to put the issue to a vote.
The lawsuit alleges the petition ‘has unsupported facts,’ is a ‘zoning restriction disguised as a nuisance ordinance,’ and it ‘administrative in nature’. And doesn't fall under the citizen petition process, ie the city government doesn't want there to even be a way for people to oppose.
If this works for the city, the people said, this will be what every other city does to control its citizens, too.
