Dover Township: The twenty days are up
tomorrow for the Dover Township Clerk's office to complete an
evaluation of 10,167 petition signatures filed by the Citizen's Alert
Group July 31 to force a November referendum that could change the
form of local government in Dover Township.
The Clerk's office has been
evaluating the signatures to put the Government Change question on the
ballot.
"We have assembled petitions signed by more than 10,000 of our
fellow citizens," said Angelo DiGiovanni when the petitions were
filed, "and we are now prepared to move forward with a vigorous
campaign to ask the public to go to the polls on November 5th and say
'YES' to the most important public question in the history of our
community."

July was the first step taken by the steering committee of 10,167
citizens to take matters into their own capable hands and launch a new
era in our community.

Citizen
Will Know Where The Buck Stops"
"We will change the government to provide for the
direct election of our mayor so every citizen knows where the buck
stops", DiGiovanni said. |
