Part of the narrative that the county executive and Council Members Bayle, Shauerman, and Winarski put forth is that the number of people that signed our petition to rescind the county’s lease with Gannon wasn’t a big enough representation of Erie County. Since candidates for elected office we recently canvassing with petitions, it’s worth taking a look at how many signatures are needed on a petition for an elected official. A petition to run for county executive requires 250 signatures. A petition to run for county council requires 10 signatures. Our petition to rescind the lease of Blasco to Gannon had over 6000 signatures. Let that sink in. That’s around the same number of followers as the county Facebook page.
