I attended the Fifth Ward City Council candidate debate last night between Scott Rosencrans and incumbent Mike Anglin. The event was well-attended, and Fifth Warders asked some great questions of both candidates.
This First Ward resident asked the candidates if they supported the GO Ask Voters Charter amendment. Scott Rosencrans replied that he hadn’t studied the question, and didn’t know much about it. Mike Anglin replied that he was in favor of voter education and so, supported GO Ask Voters because it would require our city to educate voters about projects that required financing through bond issuances.
I sent Scott Rosencrans an email this morning with a link to the GO Ask Voters web site.
The signature gathering goes very well. We have about 3,000 signatures thus far. June was a great month for the garden (rainy), but not so great for circulating petitions. Despite the rain, GOAV volunteers managed to get out into their neighborhoods and talk to their neighbors. We will, without a doubt, reach our goal of 5,800 signatures.
