San Francisco Charter Endorsed by voters in May
The article details San Francisco’s May vote approving a bold new charter that enshrines initiative and referendum. It requires petitions from 55 percent of last election’s voters to place ordinances before the people and allows passage by majority vote, with repeal by similar vote. The charter faces strong opposition from leading papers and corporate interests, and must be approved by California’s state legislature before taking effect.
