Initiative Committee turns in their signatures - 04-16-2010

WINNEMUCCA — The committee working to get the issue of a second landfill on the ballot in November turned in their signatures to the Humboldt County Clerk's Office on Wednesday.  The committee needed 852 signatures but collected 1294 -- just to be on the safe side. 


If ultimately included on the ballot, the voters would have an opportunity to decide whether or not they want to limit the amount of garbage that could be imported to a second landfill within the county.

The Humboldt County Clerk's Office must now verify the signatures collected by the committee were valid.  The signatures will be compared to those on the registered voters list.
