Petition drive ends over incorrect wording in signatures
Kathy Potts halted her Cedar Rapids petition effort after discovering the signatures gathered were void due to improper wording. The drive sought 2 353 signatures to force a public referendum on 17 million in bonds for a 50 million event center, while the council required a Department of Commerce condition for a 35 million grant.
