He “vows to return to community policing and eliminate all police overtime. He says he would further reduce costs by naming fewer political appointees and by creating a public electric utility.” On Tuesday, he “filed the 173 pages of signatures necessary to get on the ballot to run for mayor.” He will “learn on Friday whether his petitions are valid or whether they will be challenged.”
