We're trying everything we can -- including court action in progress.

These petitions weren't formed until after we petitioned our Governor (a Democrat) first. Counting handwritten and on-line signatures as well, there were over 1,500 signatures on that first petition.

The governor completely ignored these 1,500+ people. Only then did the petition drives go national.

We will continue fighting. Our unions and district have fought in court before, and the unions have always won before. I am trying hard to stay optimistic that the same thing will happen this time: victory for the good guys.
