Long battle between Boulder City and resident back in court

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals today ordered the federal District Court in Las Vegas to take another look at a long battle between Boulder City and at least one of its residents. The legal fight started in 2006, when residents presented initiative petitions to bar the City Council from spending more than $1 million without voter approval, to require the city to operate only one golf course and not subsidize two others, and to limit appointees to boards and commissions from to serving no longer than 12 years.
