Welcome to St. Paul Spotlight

About St. Paul Spotlight

This is a place for St. Paul residents to find out what is going on in their city, including information about how our local government works.

Our current focus is on the City Council's recent ordinance giving themselves a broad power to levy civil penalties (fines), and a citizen petition that would allow our residents to vote on this ordinance.

The Petition Succeeded!

On April 15, 2025, we were notified that we submitted the required 2000 signatures.

This petition was successful.  It preserved the right of our citizens to determine whether or not the City's civil penalty ordinance should go into effect.

By obtaining the required 2000 signatures, our registered voters get to decide whether or not the City Council should have this extremely broad power to levy fines in any amount.
