An initiative petition proposing changes to the Columbus City Council could require a special election on August 2nd at an estimated cost of $1 million to taxpayers. The petition from the group Represent Columbus wants to change the council from 7 at-large members to 13 total members including 10 from wards. The group submitted over 38,000 signatures to the Franklin County Board of Elections last week. In other news, a 17-year-old witness again identified Jordyn Wade as a participant in a South Linden basement mass shooting where she played dead to survive.
