I'm no lawyer, and I've asked some of these same questions. The problem is that the public has not been involved enough. Democracy doesn't work without a watchdog press and an involved public. Moneyed interests rule in this country and this state, as I'm sure you know.

You may want to contact the non-profit groups involved in this fight. They need your support too... You would think so, Chris.
