We just passed 700 signatures on the petition demanding a transparent, open, public process on the location of homeless encampments in Ballard! And more of your neighbors are signing every day. Thanks to you, this petition landed with a thud yesterday on the desks of Mayor Ed Murray and Councilmember Mike O'Brien, who is running to represent Ballard this fall. They weren't pleased. But you know what will really get their attention? More names and comments added to the petition. With every new signature, the pressure is growing on City Hall for the open, transparent, public process that Ballard residents, taxpayers, voters and business owners deserve. Let's make it a long, hot summer for Councilmember O'Brien, Mayor Murray and our other elected officials. Keep spreading the word about the petition and help keep this momentum going. Speak up Ballard!
