Tuesday June 14th could be a historic day for Cedar Rapids Iowa. By tommorow evening our city will know if it will be keeping the Full-time City Council form of government that we have had for the past 98 years or if we will be changing it to the part-time Home-Rule Commision that has been endorsed by the Iowa Labor Force, all the neighbor hoods in our fair city almost every single large corporation including, Rockwell & Aegon to name a few and of course spearheading this issue is our own Ron Corbett CEO of the Cedar Rapids Chamber of Commerce.

The Citizens for a Better Cedar Rapids (otherwise known as the 'When Pigs Fly' Commitee) have been working tirelessly for the last year securing 10,000 singnatures needed to get the Charter in motion and the necessary grass-roots effort that have brought together such strange bed-fellows as business & labor and a number of local activists from several sides. At this point the night before the election it looks likes the Home Rule vote is ahead in the polls but only time will tell. . .
