From KERA:
A petition to let Dallas voters decide whether employers across the city should be required to give employees paid sick leave fell short. Now, organizers are demanding the city secretary take another look at the signatures.
A coalition of Texas-based community groups turned in more than 110,000 signatures in June to the city in a petition to put a paid sick leave ordinance on the November ballot. After verifying those signatures, Bilierae Johnson, the city secretary, on Monday said almost half of them didn’t count, The Dallas Morning News reported.
