Waterloo saloon case revised ruling keeps year-long delay
Judge Dunham's revised decision preserves the core ruling that the petition for a new trial lacks sufficient consent. Clerical errors are corrected without changing the outcome. The correction adds and removes several names on withdrawals and petitions, with credits assigned, while allowing appeal as the next path. Waterloo remains dry for at least another year unless a new petition passes muster after the municipal election.
