It's Charter Time

Somewhere, there's a mayor that wants you get civically engaged. Somewhere, there's a former city councilor looking for 3,300 names on various pieces of paper. Somewhere, there's a city charter that has been ignored for 35 years.

Put it all together, and you have the start of the effort to collect signatures for a Charter Commission, and all the fun that comes with that. The big kickoff will be during next Tuesday's presidential primaries, as clipboard-toting folks hit polling places looking for signatures.

At the very least, go and vote. Beyond that, go and vote and sign the petition. Beyond that, bundle your little self up and gather some signatures. Beyone all that, go to the Fitchburg Pride website for more information, including how to volunteer. Time to work, people.
