Montgomery County Voters Disenfranchised - A Follow-Up

As my readers know, a law was rammed through the Montgomery County
Council regarding gender identity. One of the problems with this law,
is that there was no provision for religious institutions. They would
be required to hire those who "felt that they were a woman or a man."
They would have to put up with those who decided since they felt like
a woman, to use the woman's restrooms.

The opposition has disenfranchised over a million voters by not
allowing this bill to be put to a vote. They keep telling us that they
were confident that the people of Montgomery County would not strike
down this law, and yet, they spend thousands upon thousands of dollars
to fight it in court.
