Consolidated electionsOn Monday, April 30, the House concurred in the Senate amendment to HB 2826 (consolidated election dates; political subdivisions) and approved the bill on final passage by a narrow vote of 32-28. The legislation was immediately transmitted to the governor, who has until May 15 to sign or veto the legislation. If she does neither, then the bill will take effect without her signature.The League continues to strongly oppose the bill (which requires that local candidate elections be held in the fall of even-numbered years) and has formally asked Governor Brewer to veto the measure. Approximately 60 cities and towns have submitted their own veto requests to the governor, who has demonstrated strong support for local authority throughout her term. City officials who have not contacted the governor to express their opposition to HB 2826 are urged to do so immediately. |
