Petition circulators and lawyers were the major beneficiaries of the Southbridge Two saga that saw opposing PACs dump nearly $500,000 into the battle over the future of 5th Avenue.

The Committee for the Preservation of Old Town Scottsdale promptly pursued a referendum drive to put the development before voters in November.
