It takes a legal action of the "governing body" to change its "sovereignty". What did the City "governing body" legally do to change its "sovereignty"? All the legal records of the City indicate nothing. - andymhebert Thu, 21 Oct 2010 08:48:35 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7129-charter-commish-mulls-options#comment-11570 andymhebert - Can we expect to see you in court again over all this? :) - ragin_cajun Thu, 21 Oct 2010 07:34:34 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7129-charter-commish-mulls-options#comment-11531 "...within LCG’s jurisdiction..." How is it people who live outside "LCG's jurisdiction" get to make laws, impose fees and taxes, direct the spending of those fees and taxes, and vote for and be elected to run those limited few who live within the legal jurisdiction? It's like England running their colony. Oh, but don't worry, only those living in the jurisdiction can legally be appointed by those living outside the jurisdiction to "correct" the governing charter. And those living outside the "jurisdiction" will get to vote on that "correction". Will there be a separate "city ballot" and a separate "parish ballot" for each separate taxing district on the Charter "corrections"? How are the votes going to be counted, as City votes or Parish votes? Can you say "arbitrary and capricious action”? Can you say” gerrymandering” of districts? Can you say “one parish called election and vote, counted again as a city election and vote”? - andymhebert Wed, 20 Oct 2010 10:29:38 +0100
