re: Mall of La / BR General petition for Annexation into City

quote:

---

Lionel Rainey, a spokesman with the effort, said an exact count of the signatures will not be disclosed at the meeting. But he said the group is close to hitting their 18,000 signature mark. “If we keep at this pace, we’ll have the signatures within the next four to eight weeks,” he said.

From an updated Advocate online article tonight

The way I interpreted Boe's comments earlier, I thought the SG guys were ready to turn their petition in any day now and he wanted an AG opinion before he votes on the annexation. Four to eight weeks? That could be almost two months!

And didn't Rainey say a couple of weeks ago they were collecting 500 signatures a week? So they are "almost" there but 4 to 8 weeks means they are 2,000 to 4,000 shy of their needed 18,000. His definition of "almost" is different from mine.
