Council has authority to accept petition

Thankfully, the City Council has the opportunity, and the authority under the Charter, to declare its own interpretation of the Charter's language and grant validity to our 6,412 signatures. But they need to hear from us soon. If you live in Greensboro, or are otherwise motivated to do so, please call members of the City Council and urge them to declare the Minimum Wage petition valid and use the 2005 election as the standard, given that it was the most recent city election at the time the petition was first presented to the city clerk and the County Board of Elections.
