The Los Gatos city clerk shot down two petitions sponsored by past town councilmember Steve Glickman on Wednesday. The petitions were for two proposed ballot measures regarding term limits and capital facilities financing. These petitions caused a bit of drama in town because many residents felt that the people collecting signatures weren’t being completely honest about how these ballot measures might delay or stop the building of the new library if passed.
The reason for the rejection was that the petitions had no notice of intent. California law states that petitions must have a notice of intent, and according to the Attorney General the city clerk must reject those without.

It’s such great news to hear. What about more details on how this all went down..This article is so pathetic. Why not include a bit of the background of when it was turned in to the town office, no details of just how many people signed,no mention of what kind of cash was spent obtaining-printing-soliciting. Thanks for a story as clear as mud.

“The reason for the rejection was that the petitions had no notice of intent. “
If the town is gong to enforce the law they need to do it on all petitions not just on the ones they don’t like.
