Wording of the day

The wording of the referendum question will be as follows, with the options for answering of course being yes or no:

"Do you approve council for the City of Victoria adopting Bylaw No. 10-055 — Loan Authorization (Johnson Street Bridge) bylaw, 2010, which will authorize Council to borrow on the credit of the city the sum of $49,200,000 in order to undertake and carry out the planning, study, design and construction of a bridge to replace the Johnson Street Bridge, and to decommission the existing Johnson Street Bridge?"

The short version? "Can we borrow $49.2 million to build a new Johnson Street Bridge?"

 Sooner than later Victoria Votes will be posting interviews with City Hall and Ross Crockford of johnsonstreebridge.org, so stay tuned for more information on the referendum as well as the election itself.
