横浜市長リコールへ署名　カジノが見える丘公園にNO

Casino is being seen in Park. Yokohama Major signs recall NO

In an order to prevent the city of Yokohama from attracting integrated resorts (IRs), including casinos, the citizens' group "One-Person Recall Campaign" (representative of Yumiko Hirokoshi) began a signature campaign on May 5 to recall Mayor Fumiko Hayashi. During the two-month period until December 5, the party aims to win signatures from more than 49,878 voters (as of September 1) who are required to hold a referendum on whether or not to dismiss the mayor.

On the morning of The 5th, Mr. Hirokoshi received a certificate from the City Election Management Committee as a representative of the request. In the afternoon, about 40 members lined up their desks in front of Sakuragicho Station in Naka Ward to appeal for the signing to begin, and called on passers-by to sign the message. The members took turns holding the microphone and said, "Yokohama is a port city. "It's not a gambling town," he said, "don't create a hill park where you can see casinos."

In the future, the collection of signatures will proceed in the middle of October by creating 100,000 copies of the signature book containing a copy of the certificate and the power of attorney of the representative of the claim, and by the middle of October, the assignees who have mailed and received it to "insigners" in various parts of the city who have registered in advance will have a signature book and collect signatures for each 18 wards in the city. As of the end of August last year, 46,492 employees have been recruited on the streets and on websites.

Since Mayor Hayashi has indicated that he will not conduct a referendum on whether or not to attract casinos, he insists that "the only way to stop attracting casinos is to seek the dismissal of the mayor."
