A Lawsuit Aims to Take Save Boca's Charter Change Off the Ballot

A lawsuit seeks to prohibit Save Boca's proposed charter change from going on the March ballot.

Ned Kimmelman, a retired lawyer and downtown resident, challenges the wording of petitions for an ordinance and the charter amendment.

Each petition claims that

a majority of registered voters
in the city back the petitions designed to force a vote on the Terra/Frisbie plan for the area around City Hall.

The charter petition states that the majority "have determined that the amendment is necessary for the preservation of the health, safety and welfare of the community."

Kimmelman argues that these claims are not true, as the petition does not cite polls or any other research to support them, calling it

misleading language
used to induce voters to sign the petitions.
