A group of Rutland City residents followed the law by conducting a petition drive to have a re-vote on the Giorgetti Expansion Bond. We had our petition and our rights validated by the Vermont Secretary of State and the City Attorney. We will continue to exercise our rights as taxpayers of this City and State. Apparently, those who favored this expansion do not want us to have this right. The following is posted on the "Vote Yes for the Giorgetti Expansion" facebook site:
Nan Richenderfer Hart: I find it very puzzling why this is allowed to occur...the voters have already spoken and unless (as in the case of an elected official who does something illegal) there is something illegal about original vote this should NOT BE ALLOWED! Rutland city voters have spoken and there is no legitimate reason to re-vote other than the sour grapes of those who opposed it. I would like to start a petition to stop the petition...that is how absurd this is....anyone want to support that? 6 hours ago Lori Manning Hickey, Mary Barron, Peggy Shinn likes this.. Nan Richenderfer Hart: I am referring to the announcement today of a petition to re-vote on this matter to defeat the expansion project that won the approval of the Rutland City voters ..just ridiculous...
Deb Roy I agree....so if it is voted down, do the pro-Giorgetti voters get to re-vote it again, and again....and again.....talk about a waste of time and money and people's energy!
How about a date so I don't have to figure out 60 days from when the petition was turned in, especially since the date is not listed on the city's website.
