[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any way Joe citizen can file a complaint/petition against this? [b] He's going through a big loophole, circumventing the will of the voters' 2020 Election Question A, and disingenuous about it as there are bunch of other things increasing as well. [/b] There was no thought given to reallocating other funds to schools and public safety and keeping overall budget the same.  The public hearings feel like they are checking off a box, they are so condescending.  [/quote]

Wonder if he can really get away with this.[/quote]

There is no loophole. He’s lying. The state law does not apply to our charter.

He proposed his own version of a charter amendment on property taxes in 2020, 8 years after this state law was passed. If the state law negates the current charter, it would have also negated the charter amendment that Elrich proposed. Never once did he mention this possibility. Never once did his chief administrative officer, who sponsored the state law and testified on Elrich’s proposed charter amendment, mention this possibility. So Elrich and Madaleno were either lying then or they’re lying now. Don’t let them get away with it. Tell your council members that we expect a unanimous vote to raise taxes. [/quote]
