Why? Really, I'd love to see it laid out how this will supposedly lead to a better society.

Edit: There's absolutely no preamble on the bill.

Damn that town has a nice website. Seriously, it's one of the nicest websites of any kind I've encountered this year.

Final Edit:

From the most recent town meeting where it was discussed, starting on page 9. That's about as deep as I'll go for now.

Then they don't get to lobby? Right?

Well that’s not fair. The vote should at least be weighted proportionally to the number of people the company employs.

Maybe we achieve that by giving each individual employee a vote? Then, all of dem get a vote… we could call it dem-ocracy!

Weird concept. But I’d give it a try.

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.
