FREMONT, Neb. (AP) -- Fremont is moving ahead with a plan by some residents for a special election on a proposal targeting illegal immigrants.
Residents have gotten approval from City Clerk Kim Volk to circulate a petition to force a special election on a proposal to prohibit the harboring of -- including renting to -- and hiring illegal immigrants.
City Attorney Dean Skokan says the petition is similar to a proposed ordinance that failed to win City Council approve last month.
Petition organizers had to get approve from the city clerk before circulating the petition.
