PB CLE delivers 10,500 signatures for participatory budgeting ballot initiative. They need 6,000 valid ones
People’s Budget Cleveland submitted more than 10,500 signatures to the Cleveland Clerk of Council in an effort to get the issue of participatory budgeting on November’s Ballot. The charter amendment would give Clevelanders a say in how two percent of the city’s budget — about $14 million — would be spent.
If passed, the charter amendment would create an 11-member committee — five selected by city council, five by the mayor, and one hired as a city employee — who would gather ideas and organize voting, open to all residents older than 13, on what to use the funds for. The group says there's no reason why the general fund would be greatly affected.
“Now is a really important moment for people to come together,” Martin said. “Two of three Cleveland residents don't vote. Ballot initiatives matter and it's the route we'll need to take to preserve majority rule in one person, one vote in Ohio.” “The $14 million that PB is asking for is half of the $30 million that the Cavs are asking for for an escalator improvement despite having a recently renovated stadium,” said community organizer Moses Ngong.
