Tick, Tick, Tick...

The deadline is fast approaching: all primary petitions must be submitted by 4:00 pm today.

As things now stand, it appears none of the candidates for City-wide offices have submitted enough signatures...but you can bet that many candidates are holding off until the last minute.

As fast as candidates are approved to appear on the September 15th primary, I'll post the info... and once the smoke clears, I'll provide a complete rundown of all the races that will occur.

UPDATE (7:00 pm): As predicted, many more petition sheets were handed in today. However, Michelle Hufcut will verify ALL petition signatures with equal scrutiny before verifying any candidate's position. This is a stark change from Chuckles Marino (the previous Registrar), who delegated this duty to his assistant (LaPoop, as she has been named by others): a flagrantly political hack who gave opponents' petitions scrutiny worthy of the FBI, but who accepted those of her allies (except when obviously not valid or not eligible...CYA always!).

Stay tuned for further updates....
