In a recent editorial, the Twin Falls Times News comments on the dismal failure of opponents to gather enough signatures to close the College of Southern Idaho Refugee Center in Twin Falls:

An effort to pursue a ballot measure that would have called for closing of the College of Southern Idaho Refugee Center failed dismally this week when proponents obtained less than a quarter of the signatures needed to put the measure before voters. The measure wasn't just squashed, it was obliterated. Overwhelmingly rejected, vanquished and snuffed, resoundingly. Proponents had months to collect the 3,842 signatures that would have put the measure on the spring ballot, and in the end they convinced just 894 people to sign the petition - in a county with nearly 80,000 residents. And it wasn't because of a lack of effort. If you did any shopping on Blue Lakes Boulevard in the past few months, you probably saw folks standing outside businesses seeking signatures. They were at other community events, too, including the Twin Falls County GOP's Lincoln Day Dinner. More here.
