Incorporation can be good, bad and or ugly, but the people should be allowed to meet and discuss the pros and cons and be allowed to vote. The 20% rule is way out of line.

Katy Sorenson did a full survey of the area "The Falls" when she was approached about supporting a MAC. The results were pretty clear that the majority really were not interested.
