The signatures are good.
Community activists behind both the Protect Our Preserve and NoDDC campaigns provided Scottsdale City Hall more than 37,000 signatures forcing Proposition 420 onto the upcoming November ballot.
Proposition 420, if approved, will require voter approval for all commercial construction and usage of earmarked conservation dollars within the McDowell Sonoran Preserve.
According to Scottsdale City Clerk Carolyn Jagger as of July 26 more than 24,000 qualified local voters signed a petition to force the question on the Nov. 6 general election ballot.
Proponents say the signature effort is one born through the idea that all Scottsdale residents should have a say in what occurs within the precious boundaries of Preserve lands.
