Shasta Elections Office provides deadlines for filing arguments for or against Measure B [View all]
The local elections office has released dates for submitting arguments for or against Measure B, a controversial election initiative that’s slated to appear on voters’ ballots in June.
The measure, which the Shasta Elections Office refers to by the title Local Elections Transparency and Security Reform, calls for changes to Shasta’s charter law to implement local election rules that, if implemented, would contradict current state and federal laws.
More than 7,000 citizen signatures gathered in support of the measure have been verified by the elections office, allowing it to be placed on ballots. But a legal challenge, alleging that doing so would be an irreparable waste of taxpayer funds, is still wending its way through the courts, with the next hearing scheduled for March 25.
Meanwhile, a press release sent out Thursday by Community Education Specialist David Wylie included a deadline of Friday, March 13, at 5 p.m. for arguments for and against Measure B to be submitted to the elections office.
