Sure, but I dont see that at all here....not a bit.
Its a bond issue...this happens on a regular basis all over the US. What this group is doing is trying to manipulate how a city conducts its business and even moreso if the following statement is true...

The fact that they are threatening a lawsuit over somethng as common as a bond issue by a municipality that has ben deemed legal says a whole bunch. They are clearly a political action group that is not elected yet is affecting the way elected officials do their job. That's not cool.
Again i dont care either way on this thing, but if this was happening in canada where a private group was affecting the existance of a hockey teams location based purely on threats of a lawsuit, people would be having seizues about it from St. John to Nanaimo.
