California: Anti-Walmart petition likely has enough signatures

The Good Neighbor Coalition’s (GNC) anti-Walmart initiative will appear on a ballot in June if the City Council does not adopt outright. The San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters counted the number on the initiative petition after the GNC filed it Oct. 14. The petition had 5,830 valid signatures, meaning Redlands voters will see the initiative sooner rather than later. “The (City) Council still has an option to make it a law,” said City Clerk Sam Irwin. “If that doesn’t happen, it will be on a ballot in June.”
