The photo below shows the 45 petition sheets collected as of Nov. 4, 2023, to make a change in the Rutland City Charter. The petitions collected to date contain about 675 signatures. About 600 signatures are needed to get the measure on the March 5, 2024, ballot. The  petitions will be submitted to the Rutland City Clerk when a sufficient "cushion" has been obtained to allow for names disallowed (name not on the checklist, for example).
