Heading: Second Petition for Incorporation

Text: ¶ 5. BI filed a second petition for incorporation on May 2, 2003, naming the City of Jackson, the Town of Terry, the City of Richland, and the Town of Florence as defendants. This petition consisted of fifty-five groups of signature pages, each group of pages being attached to a document labeled Petition for Incorporation. This filing included those petitions and signature pages filed in 2002 (2002 Petitions) [2] and copies of the petitions and signature pages circulated after the dismissal of the 2002 Petitions (2003 Petitions). [3] The record reveals that the 2002 and 2003 Petitions were identical, except that as filed, the 2003 Petitions failed to contain page three. The 2002 Petitions did contain the missing page. Page three contained the following information: the number of inhabitants in the PIA, the assessed value of real property in the PIA, and a portion of BI's aims in seeking incorporation.
