Brutus is working his way through the nine proposed amendments to the city charter.
In Proposition 2 or the shady deal enabling act he comments that he wishes that the actual language being proposed be made available to the citizens so that they can see what the impact of each proposition would be.
I found this document under Red Line Charter on the city web site.
Good, I thought, I can see what they really are going to change.
The document seems to be a working paper that was used by the ad hoc charter advisory committee. Many of the changes show as “Not recommended by the Ad Hoc Committee”.
What is this document? Is this what the committee reported to city council? What portion of it has the council decided to put on the ballot?
What, if anything, does the document have to do with what we are ultimately voting on?
Has the city even determined what the final wording of the charter would be if a proposition was passed? Why can’t we see the final wording?
Brutus is right, we deserve better.
