WECRD petition lacks enough signatures

Wednesday, January 20, 2016

An effort aiming to dissolve the Western Elmore County Recreation District faced a setback after a petition submitted earlier this month lacked enough valid signatures.

Headed by a local group titled "Stop the Madness," the petition seeks to gain public support that, if successful, would disband the local taxing district.

Going to correct this and not wait. The effort is to place a question on the next ballot to let the voters decide if they wanted to keep the district or dissolve it. Prior to the efforts of concerned citizens, the previous board members did very little and rarely listened to the community. It was only when the treat of dissolution was presented, that there was any action by them. All 3 board members have left office, either when the voters spoke or on their own. And all the MH News needed to do was look on the Stop the Madness Facebook page or another local Facebook page and they would have known this before Friday afternoon. Many in the community knew it Wednesday night when it was posted on Facebook.
