In an e-mail to supporters, Bowling wrote the following:

Last spring, our city council debated several bills related to changing how our city is managed. Ultimately, all the bills were voted down, with the sentiment of the council's deciding vote on this matter reasoning that this should be a decision of the voters. In order for the voters to make a decision on how our city is managed, a proposal must be petitioned to the ballot. There is only one petition that is circulating, advocating a council-manager form of city management. I am a very strong proponent of this change to our form of government. Regardless of your comfort with this change, we must act because our current city council chose not to show any leadership on this matter. I request you add your signature to this petition, so that the voters may lead, since our leaders chose not to. Your signature on the petition does not commit you to supporting this proposal, it simply allows it to be on the ballot. You may still take time to develop your own position on this matter prior to the ballot. As I indicated, I am strongly in support of this change. I am happy to discuss the merits of this proposal with you, and answer any questions that you have. As you know, I am hopeful to be the next Alderman from Ward 3, to help provide new leadership for the City, preferably under this new form of management. Please do not be fooled by some of the rhetoric and playing on words that is going around this year. Many candidates say that they support a "City Manager" form of government, however, what they really support is the status quo. Unless they support this initiative and a "Council-Manager" form of government, they are supporting what we have now, a City Administrator, who they will re-name a "City Manager". Please understand the words used regarding this change in government matter. Please support this initiative, and help me spread the word to every registered voter in Ward 3 and the City.
