TOP STORIES: Last week, a District Judge dismissed the lawsuit brought by three Delta County residents against the Delta County Clerk. They claimed that their attempt to submit a citizen veto referendum petition calling for a public vote on the adoption of the updated land use code was improperly rejected.
