Ray has left a new comment on your post "ARTICLE IX—INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM, AND RECALL":
"I think you will be VERY pleased to learn how FEW signatures this initiative will require! I was going to try blocking this so that the ordinance allowing the mayor to sign would be blocked, but there was just not enough time! Was significantly delayed by the city attorney who obfuscated until the deadline of a certain number of days ran out! And if you look at
www.jeffcitymo.org/law/intiative.html
You can understand!"
I thought this comment was very interesting--and so I went to the link given above, but the page was not found.
Ray, can you let me know how I can copy and paste the initiative you list into this blog?
I would like to know the number of voters who have to sign this petition and I would like to know more about:

because initiative was mispelled!
The flowchart is too simplistic and does NOT reflect the timelines for the two processes that we have as citizens, inititative and referendum, and in that respect is is VERY misleading.
