During the Town Hall last night the Coalition's attorney David Molton all but said that the District Court would NOT issue the stay. This prediction came about because the District requested supporter briefs very quickly, and objector replies the next day. In other words, the District just ruled and there were few cracks in the plan to expand an objection so why belabor the issue. "Get me your paperwork and I'll keep the "Denied" stamp inked up."
