Seven weeks
and at least 3,500 signatures.
If this goal
is achieved, Moose Jaw residents will vote on a referendum on the local
improvement program (LIP) at the fall civic election. That is what members of
Citizens Advocating Sensible Taxation (CAST) intend to do.
“It’s
challenging, but it’s essential and it’s rewarding. It puts the power of the
decision making into the community. It’s a community issue,” said Coun. Don
Mitchell. “We know the support is there, but we still have to organize and tap
it and make it easier for people to access.”
