Referendum law amended to curb city measure challenges
The city amends the charter to exclude administrative acts from referendum review and requires a 10 percent voter petition to bring acts to referendum. The law adds mid term elections for referendums, bars aldermen from overruling public verdict, and allows three aldermen to circulate issues for referendum with board endorsement optional if approved. Mayor Young supported the changes as clarifying the process while Senator Brady noted public authority to legislate remains with the electorate.
