If you voted for Ballot Measure 300, Anti-tax activist Douglas Bruce wants you to attend a city council meeting on Tuesday.

The city will be talking about how to resolve the conflicts between the ballot measure and the city charter. Voters passed issue 300, which ends city enterprise payments, in November. Bruce says the city is trying to change the ballot measure. The city says that's not the case. "You can't ignore that," said Sue Skiffington-Blumberg, director of communications for the city. "You can't just say ‘Oh, it will work itself out.' You have to have the city charter being in compliance with the rest of the ordinances."

"They're going to try anything that they think they can get away with and the voters need to show up and say to them, 'Lay off issue 300'."said Bruce.

The meeting is at 1 p.m. at City Hall.
