The business of all governing bodies should be to objectively consider the best interests of all their constituents in a manner that fairly represents the needs and concerns of all the people. Since the apparently general acceptance of these three new and unusual businesses is causing some considerable alarm among a significant number of the people of Sidney, why not put the whole matter to a special referendum?
