UPDATE: Item #81 on the City Council’s Tuesday Agenda

Council has been working on this and plan to have 1st reading next week so they can pass 2nd reading at their last meeting on May 21st. They have seen that councilor Rolfing’s idea was about as bad as they come. I know that the council has at least 4 councilors that support it, so I don’t know how the vote will go, but I have a feeling it will go away real quick, no matter who wins tonight.

Basically we would bring back a 34% plurality rule (if any candidate gets at least 34% of the vote, they don’t need a runoff).

    Would you know how much pressure is being put on the Council by this Mayor to change it? We all know how transparent he is with wanting and getting his way!
