    MARA’s lawsuit called the election “illegal” and accused Hood County officials of “colluding” with residents to hold the election.

    Sounds like felony contempt of business model to me. How dare the local citizens hold an election of all things.

      This part made me laugh. This all could have been avoided if the company had been a good neighbor and worked with these people to correct the issue without it coming to them incorporating and setting up ordinances.

      I’m at the point with companies where I hope this drives them out of business.
