Oregon: Citizens start petition campaign after council vote
Hours after Wilsonville City Councilors voted to adopt an urban renewal district designed for SoloPower, local resident Vince Alexander launched a petition drive Tuesday morning to push the $11 million plan to a public vote. “Are we ready? Because now the roar starts,” said Alexander as he walked into City Hall at the open of business. Alexander’s political action committee, Stop Urban Renewal Giveway, now has 30 days to collect signatures from 10 percent of Wilsonville’s registered voters.
