FAQ

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q1 Signatures stall around 40 ▼
A

Check coastal cleanup and sign-photo replacements, a return to La Roqueta and north-beach requests. Do not assume story conversations alone reach 50.

Q2 Should the mayor photo contain only people? ▼
A

Frame the church, mayor, hotel developer and money so all are clear together.
