An initiative proposed by Carlton Fields associate Justin Wales will ask Miami residents in November if they want to give citizens the right to sue the city of Miami if it violates its own charter.

If ballot question 4 is approved, residents will have the legal standing to challenge the city in court if they believe its governing document has been overstepped. City commissioners approved the ballot question July 29, and it was authorized by Mayor Tomas Regalado on July 1.
