Wakefield Charter Revision Petition Case Continues
The case involves Arthur Cavender and others seeking a general charter revision of Wakefield. The City Clerk did not call a special election, arguing the initiatory petition lacked required disclosures about who sponsors the petition. The court analyzes home rule acts, sections 18 and 25, and whether they mandate the same petition form for revisions and amendments.
