Citizen Initiative 300 has been a hot topic in the community. The measure, if passed, would require a vote of the electorate for large town projects (those that exceed more than $10 million), rezoning or Planned Unit Development amendments on projects that would cost a third-party more than $20 million, and water service expansions outside the town limits with more than ten new residential taps or one new commercial tap. Hear from members of the community in support and opposition of the measure on how they think Citizen Initiative 300 would impact the community. Each year, we seek to provide listeners and the electorate with comprehensive, timely, and easily accessible information on candidates and the issues up for a vote. Our mission is to prioritize the questions and needs of the public, and be a point of contact between candidates, issues, and our entire community.
