Campaign to boost city manager government in Richmond
Advocates press final week of open discussion in wards. Anti manager forces plan Tuesday meeting at Colonial Annex. Meetings this week include Whitewater Friends church and Third M. E. church in Fairview with parade music. Statewide special elections on Tuesday draw attention to results. In case of defeat, council would schedule a primary no earlier than 30 days after the vote, likely delaying until late July. Aspirants for city offices face questions on filing new notices of intent due to the postponement.
