Strong Mayor Issue Still Alive Maybe
Bruce Smith says the strong mayor issue is still alive and could be back in front of voters again in November. The Yakima Valley Business Times publisher is a member of the group Citizens For Safe Streets and Lower Taxes who says no final decision has been made but there's a 75 percent chance it will be back on the ballot. The group could start a petition drive or ask the City Council to place the issue on the ballot. The strong mayor question was defeated Tuesday 52 to 48 percent.
