Rules to get petitions on ballot must be followed

The Stutsman County Commission is including two initiated amendments to the home rule charter on the November general election ballot, but we feel neither belongs there. One of the initiated amendments would form a 17-member committee to advise the commission on road issues. The proposed committee consists of 12 people elected from the townships and small cities, the two county commissioners with the county road portfolio and three people named by the Jamestown City Council.
