It’s no surprise that these charter amendments are stirring up controversy – it feels like every time there’s a push for change, there’s always a risk of it being a power grab. Extending term limits? Sounds like a way to keep the same people in power for longer and limit fresh perspectives. We need to be wary of anything that could undermine local democracy and make government less accountable to the people. Voters should definitely read the fine print and think hard before voting on these!
