Kevin exercised his right as a taxpayer to generate a petition demanding the taxpayers RIGHT to vote on a referendum.

I find your method in this case to be very obstructionist. Whether Kevin was right or you were right, I do not care. Both of you should have had to go through the same motions.
How many referendums are put through every year that taxpayers don't understand? More than can be counted, surely.
It doesn't make sense to me at all.
This is very much like the casino issue---the public should have been allowed to vote on whether they wanted a casino, instead of one group finding a loophole to build one, and another one thinking they knew what was best for the taxpayers.
When is the MAJORITY ever going to ACTUALLY get the chance to vote on SOMETHING?!
