Why would the authority for such public decisions revert to the businesses there in the absence of voters? I kinda have to hurt my brain a little to even conceive of a district that has no voters, like, yeah, I am a parent, but I have never had any children. It's kind of the definition of the term. Anyhow, it's probably some leftover rule or worse, some new rule put in there by zombie voters to give voting power to corporations.

Corporations are not people, people. They should not have the right to vote, nor have the cause things to happen that require voters to enact. Oh wait, I'm dreaming. What's happening here is the local businesses are just trying to save on their lobbying expense. Costs money and is uncertain, like all marketing.
