Petition Omission Forces District For WS Pool To Take Different Direction

An omission on petition sheets has White Salmon, Bingen, and Klickitat County officials taking a new direction to get a Metropolitan Park District to establish and operate a new swimming pool in White Salmon before voters in November.  Mayor David Poucher says they were informed by the County Auditor that petitions signed by over 700 people did not have a required notice about the consequences of knowingly signing the document without being a resident or registered voter.  Poucher says it would be nearly impossible to re-gather those signatures in the three weeks remaining, and he went to the County Commission for another option to get the question to the ballot.  He said Commissioners would put a resolution to put the district on the ballot on an upcoming meeting agenda.  Poucher said the Commission will require the district backers to reach the 725 signatures that would be needed to qualify for the ballot, adding he expects they will reach 1,000.
