In reading the Dispatch this morning I see it?’s another round of developers & council flexing their muscle against citizen wishes.
Postage ?– ?“We?’ve got developers sitting out there waiting.?”
Fox ?– ?“I wish more people would want to hear all sides instead of reacting in a knee-jerk manner?”.
Wright ?– The developers are trying to finish their work before residents can vote on three charter amendments in November.
Are the developers now lining up their legal guns and attempting to impact elections? Are they guilty as sin of owning this town?’s council?
Maybe the citizens of this little minded village should beat them to the courtroom and file first.
Let?’s try bribery as the first count.
?§ 3599.02 Bribery offenses concerning voters or potential voters.
Text of Statute
No person shall before, during, or after any primary, general, or special election or convention solicit, request, demand, receive, or contract for any money, gift, loan, property, influence, position, employment, or other thing of value for that person or for another person for doing any of the following:
(A) Registering or refraining from registering to vote;
(B) Agreeing to register or to refrain from registering to vote;
(C) Agreeing to vote or to refrain from voting;
(D) Voting or refraining from voting at any primary, general, or special election or convention for a particular person, question, or issue;
(E) Registering or voting, or refraining from registering or voting, or voting or refraining from voting for a particular person, question, or issue.
Whoever violates this section is guilty of bribery, a felony of the fourth degree, and shall be disfranchised and excluded from holding any public office for five years immediately following such conviction.
If the city office holders were subject to defending their actions by only the City Law Director... after all that ?“would save the taxpayers money?”, using Randy?’s own words, then who would still be in office?
Would the developer?’s attorneys have the adjoining cells?
By Oh No ?– might sue!!
