Last week’s City Council meeting was postponed to this Wednesday due to phone line technical issues with Zoom. The docket is the same, so you can see last week's newsletter for my discussion on the short term rental and sports complex funding items. We will also be having our regular COVID-19 update during the 6:30 meeting. I encourage you to join us and comment or ask questions when the Council is considering the various docket items. Your input is crucial to the process.
Thank you to everyone who voted in the primary this past Tuesday, whether it was by mail, early voting at City Hall, or at the polls. I am encouraged that I have given so many residents confidence in my leadership on the Council, and I am committed to continuing to face the issues in our City head on and in the open. I am also encouraged by the number of strong new voices in this election - our City's future is bright when we are open to hearing all voices in our community.
The general election is on November 3, and the Secretary of State has announced that all registered voters in the state will receive an application for a mail ballot. Voters must be registered by October 4 to be able to vote in the election. The deadline to submit a mail ballot application is Tuesday, October 13, and early in-person voting will be available at City Hall beginning October 14. More information on elections and voting can be found at vote.sos.ri.gov.
