Measure moves forward that would put rail question on ballot

By Sean Hao
Advertiser Staff Writer

However, that question won't land on the November ballot unless it can survive one more vote next Wednesday.

The council's Executive Matters Committee voted unanimously in favor of the proposed city Charter amendment.
