This issue ain’t dead

Okay, this issue ain't dead until they either pass it or table it. It is so embarrassing and moot.Okay, this issue ain’t dead until they either pass it or table it.

I’m talking about the proposed ordinance that’s up for a third reading at the next quorum court meeting. The ordinance would require a vote of the people of Pope County before the County Judge could issue a letter of support or the Quorum Court could pass a resolution of support for a casino applicant for the Pope County license.

It is so embarrassing and moot.

The license has been issued so neither a letter of support nor a resolution of support is needed – embarrassing and moot.

Just like 2018-O-42, it conflicts the Amendment 100 – embarrassing and moot.

It’s an attempt to regulate gambling in violation of Arkansans Codes – embarrassing and moot.

I guess there is a third (a face-saving one) option: Just take it off the agenda.
