Rowland Heights advocate for cityhood

Description

WHY CITYHOOD PETITION
- Signing does not commit you to Cityhood. Petition requires 5,354 signatures, 25% of registered voters.
- Cityhood Petition is to ask Los Angeles County to conduct a "Feasibility Study for Rowland Heights Becoming a City" from financial view point.
- If the tax revenue generated by Rowland Heights is sufficient to support the cityhood, then the residents will be allowed to vote for the Cityhood!

REASONS FOR CITYHOOD
- Local control: Retain revenues exclusively for our community.
- Control our money: have a full-time staff focused on our community.
- Control our future: Maintain local control and accountability of our city leaders.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
