Nice! The landowners tried to arrange a Community Improvement District so there are no voters in it. Under local law, if here are no voters then the land owners get to decide. (What I can't tell is if there's a difference between the views of the land owners and the business owners on that land. Are the land owners trying to avoid increased property taxes by shifting the expenses to sales taxes?)
That district includes the Ernest and Eugenia Wyatt Guest House, which is "available for EFCC patients experiencing long-term outpatient care, such as chemotherapy." One of the employees of facility also lives there, and has done so for over a year, and is a registered voter.
Hence the plan of having no registered voter didn't succeed.
Indeed. I idly wonder if there are any special laws to prohibit evicting someone for the primary purpose of trying to sway an election. Perhaps remnants of laws added due to oppressive tactics used in company towns?
