Washington: Council likely to keep vote off ballot until August
The Yakima City Council held it’s first business meeting of the year Tuesday evening. One of the most high profile issues they discussed was when the re-districting initiative would be up for vote. They had the option of putting the issue on an April special election ballot, or let it be voted on in the August primary election. The civil rights group in favor of the redistricting wants the April date because if the measure passes, the redistricting would take place in time for the November general election…and all of the city council seats would be up for election.
