Hehehehe, what makes you think there will be anyone there for them to talk to? Remember, they are guvment workers, too!
That’s exactly my point. They’ll be on break, or on vacation, or on family&medical leave or some such. Should be fun to watch.
I just read another story about this, they want the court to order the council to enact the tax increases, or implement some other plan, in violation of separation of powers. Were I a councilor, I would like to see a court force me to vote yea against my will, or for that matter, force an executive to pick up a pen and sign a piece of legislation.
This is aristocracy attempting to sieze power, plain and simple, which will lead to oligarchy and tyranny.
