 You will have until 5.p.m. January  16th  2008 to  express your displeasure with the  City of Prince George’s plan to  borrow nearly $12 million dollars.

If you  don’t want the City to  borrow the cash,  you will have to show up at City Hall to  sign the "counter petition".  In order for the  bylaw to be defeated, 10% of  eligible voters will have to sign  the "petition".  That means, there would have to be  5535  signatures to  stop the  borrowing plan.

The dollars are  to be spent as follows:

• A sum not exceeding eleven million three hundred and seventeen thousand dollars ($11,317,000) and to acquire such real property, easement, rights-of way, licenses, rights or authorities as may be requisite or desirable for or in connection with the RCMP – New Facility;
