Our neighborhoods do matter; that's why you read Newport Patch, use NextDoor and/or subscribe to KnowingNewport, right?
Our voices should matter. In the last few days, all of Newport's formal neighborhood groups have joined forces to ask the Newport City Council to allow voters to decide ward representation issues. (You will want to read the editorial in the Tuesday July 22 issue of the Newport Daily News on the topic).
Here's what you and your Newport friends can do: Today, please sign sign the online petition created by Alliance for Livable Newport at -- http://newportalliance.org/sign-the-petition-asking-newport-city-council-to-allow-voters-to-decide-ward-representation-issues/ --
