Thanks for updating on the Charter Re...Hi Gillian,<br /><br />Thanks for updating on the Charter Review process and the citizens who have expressed interested in being on the Commission. As you've reported, the question will be on the ballot; over 1920 voters have signed the petition to put it on the ballot.<br /><br />Couple of clarifications:<br />1) Each Commission candidate needs to submit nomination papers with a minimum 50 signatures to get on the November ballot. So I believe the nine people you cite have 'pulled' papers, not sure who, if anyone, has submitted the 50 signatures yet and is officially on the ballot.<br /><br />2) Voters in November will decide yes/no on whether a Commission is formed and at the same time the voters will choose the 9 Commission members. If the result is a "Yes" vote, then the top 9 are the Commissioners. If the result is a "No" vote, then there is no Commission.<br /><br />Thanks for the coverage.<br /><br />EdECChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022281860257146989noreply@blogger.com
