Petition drive begins to let voters decide public funding for new Falcons Stadium | 11alive.com

ATLANTA — A petition drive to let Atlanta voters decide whether public funding should be used for a new Atlanta Falcons stadium got underway Tuesday.

William Perry of Common Cause Georgia led a small group of volunteers as they began a two month, door-to-door quest for 35,000 signatures of registered city voters.

Many thought the $200-million share of local hotel and motel taxes was a done deal to help pay for the $1-billion plus project.

But Perry is still fighting to put the issue on next fall’s ballot.
