(The Center Square) — The Atlanta City Council approved legislation to start scanning forms filed as part of a petition calling for a referendum on the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.
The measure directs the city clerk to scan and publicly disclose the more than 115,000 signatures submitted on Sept. 11 from those who want a referendum on the training center, derisively called “Cop City.” Opponents want voters to decide on the training center during this November’s election.
