Oh the apathy is there. Most of those who signed at the grocery store in June won't bother to mail in their ballot come November.

If GWI did this correctly, they would have hired the local referendum business to get the signatures. This signature drive is almost pro forma and the real question is whether the referendum passes in Nov and if so is it binding on the council that is against that result?

I haven't really followed the story/thread enough to know.
