Petition drive plans all-out push to back reform ballot
Mid-Missouri backers of a campaign spending reform petition vow an all-out push this weekend to collect signatures. They target 65,000 total nationwide across seven of Missouri s ten districts with July 5 deadline. The eighth district, centered in mid-Missouri, is expected to meet its quota of about 9,300 signatures, aided by estimates of 11,000 to 12,000 in the district under Judge Tony Hiesberger s coordination. Local counts include Jefferson City over 2,000, Boone County over 5,000, Osage about 800, and Phelps 400-500, with western St. Louis County around 1,000. The California Chamber of Commerce endorsed the drive and will coordinate signatures with Jack Bolin. Petitions must be notarized and filed with Hiesberger or Greg Derrick by Monday.
