Getting Council to listen to the people who pay the property taxes has proven difficult.
Wendy Fletcher started a petition and ran into problems with the City Clerk in getting it presented and shown on the city web site.
The Gazette understood that the petition was closed, meaning that it was no longer possible to add your signature. We were misled – not deliberately.
The Petition is still open and will be open until the end of the year – by which time the budget, whatever it is going to be, should have been approved.
For those who still want to register their opposition – click HERE to add your name to the position.
There are currently 2173 signatures on the petition. We will report on how the Petition is doing from time to time.
This is the Petition – but it IS NOT where you sign it. The link to the petition is shown in red above.
Imagine the impact if 2,173 taxpayers were to show up in Civic square, a la “ECOB”.
Better at the CSSRA where the budget is to be debated. Or the council where it is to be approved or deemed approved.
