Rent Control in El Dorado?

Yes, Rick Myers and I submitted a Rent Control Initiative to the city on Monday March 2nd. The legal notice will appear this Thursday in the Gazette. At that time we can start gathering signatures for the Initiative. As soon as I see the notice in the paper, I will help organize signature gathering to begin Saturday at 1pm at Vons and, hopefully Super A. Any volunteers? Call me at 4024. We will be there from 1pm- 7pm Saturday and 1pm- 5pm Sunday for about 3 weekends. I would like to be able to give the seniors who volunteer a 1 hour shift, the rest a 2 hour shift. Please come by and sign, we NEED your help. To sign you must live in the Fillmore city limits, be a registered voter and sign your name just like on your voter registration card.

Dave, how are the signatures coming along?

I don't have an exact count. I think we're close to 200. The problem now is not enough volunteers to gather signatures. We need Spanish speakers helping to cover Super A. I'm just a worker bee because I have to cover shifts, so it's hard to keep things coordinated. I'll work on getting more volunteers this week.
