Water-use, garbage-fee initiative OK for vote

The Arizona Daily Star

An initiative to repeal Tucson's garbage pickup fee, prohibit "toilet-to-tap" drinking water and limit future water connections has enough signatures to be placed on November's ballot.

Tucson City Clerk Kathy Detrick verified Thursday the initiative dubbed the "Tucson Water Users Bill of Rights" has the needed 11,615 valid signatures to qualify for the ballot.

However, City Attorney Mike Rankin said there still could be a legal challenge to the initiative, either by the city or a third party, because of legal issues with the wide-ranging proposal — a highly unusual statement for the city attorney to make once a measure has been certified for the ballot.
