Additional info on Prop 301

In an effort to bring discussion on Prop 301, chances are good that you will see multiple blog posts on this subject right through the election. Of course I will be injecting my opinion here or there with the goal that we will see more discussion on the pro's and con's on this referendum.

Today I am sharing the ballot information and how it will appear in text.

PROPOSITION 301

REFERENDUM ORDERED BY PETITION OF THE PEOPLE SUBMITTING
RESOLUTION NO. 4425 TO THE VOTE OF THE ELECTORATE:


OFFICIAL TITLE:

This is a referendum on the City of Kingman Resolution No. 4425 which approved a major amendment to the City of Kingman General Plan 2020 by changing the projected land use of certain property from Open Space/Park to Regional Commercial.


DESCRIPTIVE TITLE:

This major amendment to the City of Kingman General Plan 2020 would reclassify City owned real property, described as 159.8 acres located south of Interstate-40 in the south portion of Section 9, Township 21 North, Range 16 West, Gila and Salt River Meridian commonly known as Kingman Crossing, from Open Space/Park to Regional Commercial to allow for future retail development.


A "YES" vote shall have the effect of approving Resolution No. 4425 and allowing the
change of the projected land use.


A "NO" vote shall have the effect of disapproving Resolution No. 4425 and not allowing the change of the projected land use.

It probably won't be a surprise to anyone that reads here that I'm voting 'YES' on this proposition.

Later on, I'll be sharing (and fisking) the arguments against Prop 301 that appear in the informational pamphlet and text of ballot for the special election. Registered voters will be getting these pamphlets in the mail by early next week if they don't already have them.

We will have fun with these.

I'll also be writing about the other issues that will appear on the ballot. As always, I ask that you join the discussion and have an open mind. I won't be telling you how to vote, but I will be sharing my opinion. Those opinions will be there for the 'fisking' that anyone wants to point in my direction.

This election, and the elections from here on out locally will be very important to the future of Kingman and the surrounding area. Please get involved at the minimum by exercising your right to vote.
