Despite claims local residents were tricked into signing petitions under false pretenses, the project will be on the ballot in November.
The California Forever project is one step closer to becoming a reality. This week, the ambitious project’s backers announced that they had received enough local support to trigger a ballot initiative. Local voters will now decide the fate of the project during the November election.
The first of those things was the approval of a ballot initiative—which, it would appear, has been accomplished. Come November, voters will now be asked to vote on a measure that would legally enshrine the California Forever project. If a majority of Solano county residents cast their vote in favor of the project, it will be officially written into law and the project’s backers will be allowed to start work on it immediately.
