Petition Blocked on Elm Street Paving Signatures
A petition to halt Elm Street paving between Eighth and Ninth streets failed to meet legal signature thresholds. City officials cited only four resident owners of record, needing five to stop the $129,489 project. Landowners have 20 days to protest per state law, and eight eligible owners exist in the benefit district. Marion Smith disputes the attorney's view and plans to challenge it.
