Mayor Declines to Take Responsibility for Printing Names

City Attorney Metz says the law requires acceptance in writing, though one candidate argues a signed filing and fee prove intent. Mayor Rodgers plans to follow the attorney's opinion and exclude the names, with the primary set for March 14 reducing nineteen candidates to ten.
