In the Cabela's land giveaway vote today in Rapid City, looks like there may be genuine fodder for disagreement if the vote doesn't go the way either side wants it to.
From KOTA:
And here is the erroneous language (on the "no" part of the ballot):
A "YES" vote is for the approval of the portion of the Resolution allowing
the land to be transferred for economic development purposes.
A "NO" vote is against the approval of the portion of the Resolution
preventing the land from being transferred for economic development
purposes.
In reality, a "no" vote is against the approval of the portion of the
Resolution ALLOWING the land to be transferred. There is no resolution
PREVENTING the land from being transferred.
I think most voters will be able to figure it out...but I also know there are voters who will be incredibly stymied by the loose language.
This contentious issue may yet continue to hover before the eyes of Rapid Citians.
