Manuel Miner has finally informed their readers of the fact that voters
will be able to decide whether or not two housing projects with a combined
population larger than Casa Grande should be built on 7,100 acres of Sonoran
desert.
The story broke April 15
and the Miner was informed of the development by three separate
sources that same day.
Two weeks later the Miner
decided to cover it.

O'Neil rules referendum
will go to the people
By Gayle Carnes
The proposed referendum regarding
Pinal County Zoning near Oracle will go to the people.
Pinal County Superior Court

Developers Robson and Anam challenged
the petitions claiming that the were not submitted in a timely manner and
were therefore invalid.
The developers have the opportunity
to appeal the judge's decision, but is is unknown whether they will or
not. |
