Who gives a darn about the so called three founding nations. There is blatant bigotry and hypocrisy when that term "founding nations" is used as a smoke screen for racism. My family has been here for well over two hundred years. Does that give me license to discriminate against others? No!  If ratepayer’s referendums were the standard for zoning changes, NIMBYs would stop 90 of all development. In this case the referendum was invoked, because of local resistance (code word for racism) to the development. The referendum was used by weak politicians for cover.
