if you want it, do something
As I’m sure you are aware, Mary Ann Stiles is leading the effort to elect a county mayor. She reports that her petitions have now passed legal scrutiny by the Hillsborough Supervisor of Elections. This only means that the format is proper. Today began the signature-gathering process.
Just so you know, the Tampa Tribune supports the measure, blogger Michael Hussey does not. Like us, Howard Troxler is not sure. If you have links to more editorials, please leave ‘em in comments.
The signatures of 38,850 registered Hillsborough County voters are needed by July 6, so if you want this on the ballot, download both petitions (REPLACING THE CURRENT APPOINTED ADMINISTRATOR WITH A NONPARTISAN ELECTED COUNTY MAYOR) and (PROVIDING COUNTY MAYOR WITH VETO POWERS; PROVIDING BOARD POWER TO OVERRIDE WITH TWO-THIRDS VOTE), sign and mail them to Taking Back Hillsborough County Political Committee, 315 Plant Av., Tampa, FL, 33606.
I also encourage you to leave your personal editorials for and against in the comments below.
