As liason to the CC, we are asking that you forward this concern to the CC for immediate review and revision of the date to no earlier than March 19th / 21st or to reviewing an even later date.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>The signatures-in-leiu of filing fee deadline is February 25th, and March 12th for nomination papers for County Council seats as well as for non-partisan
offiices up for election in June. The current Plenary date of March 5th & 6th is right in the middle of this intensive 3 week organizing and filing period that takes up an inordinate amount of time for
candidates and their supporters. Many Greens would not be able to both attend the Plenary and go through the candidate filing processes. Since we are so limited on time, resources, and person power as it is, the current Plenary date simply does not make sense.<span class="Apple-converted-space">..............</span><br>
