Petition to reduce sewer rates qualifies for ballot
A group seeking to roll back Petaluma’s sewer rates has gathered enough signatures for the issue to be placed on a future election ballot. The county elections office certified that Petalumans for Fair Utility Rates, which sponsored a similar initiative last year, gathered 1,169 sufficient signatures from Petaluma voters. The group, led by retired pilot Jim Fitzgerald and former councilman Bryant Moynihan, needed 1,093 signatures and submitted a total of 1,579.
