Elevate Flagstaff Signatures Determined Valid, Prop 414 Amendment To Go To The Voters

In the ongoing drama that is the Flagstaff minimum wage fight, another twist has taken place. The Coconino County Election’s office has verified the signatures collected by Elevate Flagstaff, which means the amendment to Proposition 414 will head to the voters. The question now is, when will the public get to vote on it. The Flagstaff City Council has called for a special session next Tuesday night to discuss and vote on the matter. Also, Elevate Flagstaff has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit by Flagstaff Needs A Raise that tried to dismiss Elevate’s petition because of their signature collection process. The organization sued Elevate, the City of Flagstaff and the Flagstaff city clerk. Elevate Flagstaff gathered nearly nine-thousand signatures, which was twice the amount needed to put the matter on the ballot. Nearly six-thousand of the signatures were valid. The council will now decide if a special election will be held in May, or they can decide to wait until November of 2018.
