Eh, seems like other towns in Delaware have already been doing it without incident. Doesn’t seem too outrageous to me. They’re giving people who live out of town but own businesses in town a vote in the town’s elections. Why not?
You've seen how Citizen United has led to a deluge of corporate influence on politics right? And you are not sure what the issue could be with allowing Corporations to vote? How about we just skip all these middle steps and just allow the corporations to be elected directly into public office? I'm sure they'll have the average citizens interests at heart.
