Not on Ballot

This measure did not or will not appear on a ballot

The Massachusetts Water Sewage Rates Initiative did not make the November 6, 2012 general election ballot in the state of Massachusetts as an indirect initiated state statute. The measure would have limited the amount by which water and sewer rates may be raised. The petition number for the initiative was 11-10 and was filed by Heidi Verougstraete.^[1]

Path to the ballot

Backers needed to collect 68,911 signatures by the December 7, 2011 petition drive deadline. The measure did not submit signatures by that deadline.
