The City Auditor's office announced today that the signature count for the drive to put public campaign financing to an up-or-down ballot measure had "technological problems."
As a result, the signature count--which originally came up short of the number of valid signatures needed to put the issue on the ballot, to the surprise of many--will be reviewed and recertified. It's too early to know how this will affect the outcome, only that the signature sampling process is going to require a do-over.
More on this as it develops; meanwhile, you can consider what the First Things First Committee, bankrolled by downtown business, might have spent that $350 thousand on instead.
