Petition organizer requests specific reasons be stated
One of the organizers of the three petitions rejected by the Bowie City Council on Nov. 5 has submitted a letter to the city requesting the reasons they were rejected; However, City Manager Bert Cunningham has responded it is not the city’s responsibility to be her legal advisor.
Buckmaster’s letter was received on Nov. 8 and directed to the City of Bowie, Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham. Buckmaster received the rejected petitions from the mayor, who told her they did not comply with the city charter.
Buckmaster, who was elected to the city council in Tuesday’s election and will take the oath of office on Nov. 12, states in the letter “I have had multiple attorneys review the petitions and have been unable to ascertain the reason for your opinion that they do not comply with the City Charter requirements. I am requesting that you respond with the specific reasons that each of the three petitions were not in compliance with the City Charter.”
