Effort to change Fargo commission to council hits milestone for petition signatures

Fargo’s city government could soon look a lot different — and some residents say it’s long overdue. A grassroots group led by former city commissioners Tony Gehrig and Arlette Preston is halfway to collecting enough signatures to put a ward system on the ballot. The proposal would divide Fargo into six districts, giving each area its own representative on the city council. Supporters say it’s about fairer representation and accountability — making sure every corner of Fargo has a voice at City Hall. April Baumgarten with InForum has the full story.
