Letter: Charter Commission could be reseated for further review

Posted

To the editor:
Over the course of this year, the City Council might consider identifying provisions within the City Charter which require fine-tuning in order to make our municipal government run more effectively. Charter Amendment questions can be placed on 2020 Election Ballot.
To this end, the Charter Review Commission or mini version thereof could be reinstated in early 2020.
Although the Commission did an excellent job in 2017, there is also still the need to further examine how we can make changes so that more well qualified residents decide to run for local office in the future.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
