re: Opponents to ask for rehearing in St. George matter

I don’t think the question of the incorporation itself gets reheard.

I think arguing the boundaries and incorporation date happens.

The boundaries should hold up because state law freezes them in the areas in question while an incorporation is in process. A successful incorporation vote, even despite the lawsuit, should have meant they were not allowed to incorporate those areas.


They may be more successful arguing the incorporation date but I think the fact that the city blew off budgeting based off a potential St George win and did not put money in escrow is a strike against them. They were supposed to draw up two budgets based on potential outcomes of the vote and all indications were they never drew up one for a St George win.
