My understanding was that the petitions were severely flawed. Not technical errors like the ones crooked Craig rejected and lost on. These were most likely fraudulent signatures. Lots and lots of fraudulent signatures. The more appropriate suit is probably lobbyist v petition collection company.
It's really kind of irrelevant though. If the electorate wants the tax repealed, all they have to do is flip the Knaack and Martinez seats to more honorable/ethical people and they can write it out of the charter just as easily as the Glendale Four wrote it in. It's not going to be as much fun observing this matter without Manny and Yvonne. They walk off the stage and directly into the Stupid & Corrupt Politician Hall of Fame.
Seriously, they could make a movie, a miniseries of this and label it "based on a true story" and no one but mega-thread posters would believe it. I wonder if something else will happen and yet the team stays, like Glendale going bankrupt *and* Ice Arizona hitting $50M losses yet something strange happens and the team stays put because Fortress ends up in trouble or gets bought out by a Chilean billionaire or if the team does relocate, it ends up relocating further south.
