    You mean Scott? He’s not managing anything for the EU initiative, he’s just promoting it as a volunteer. Is there even any funding involved in the petition?

      He did not pursue funding against the better judgements of others because he “didn’t know how to handle it”. Now this is happening and I’m not surprised. If you get this politically active you pretty much need a lawyer.
