Tuesday morning the lawyers for the District, the County, LAFCO and the Petitioners appeared before Judge Kenneth J. Medel to deliver their arguments. The Judge ruled against the Petitioners and their attorney Craig Sherman stated in the Union-Tribune “that a referendum opponents would like to put on the November ballot seeking to overturn the local board’s decision is probably not legally by Bill Fink valid.” Later Tuesday morning the Board of Supervisors decided to Monday, May 28th is Memorial Day, a federal holiday that honors move forward with the application to LAFCO for the incorporation our Veterans who died in service of the district into County Service Area 135.
