The Record: Federal Rep. Brakenreid Orders Non-Binding Refrendum

==Brakenreid Orders Non-Binding Refrendum==
After days of reviewing the Cartrians plea for a refrendum in the counties of Del Sol and Plata, Federal Representative, Samuel Brackenreid, has ordered that a non-binding refrendum will be held. Representative Brackenreid stated, "With the current situation for the ethnic Cartrians in Del Sol County and Plata does not warrant a full refrendum. As I reviewed their case I understand that a number of ethnic Cartrians wish to remain part of Reellam. As a compromise for both sides, a non-binding refrendum was the right choice. The date for this non-binding refrendum will be, March 7th. The results of the non-binding refrendum will help deicide if a full refrendum should be held on a later date." Gareth Townsend, the orgainzer of the pro-annexation protest said he welcomes the compromise and has encouraged many of the Cartrians to vote in favor of annexation. The State Chancellor's office has yet to issue a statement at the current time.
