Tomorrow, voters will get to voice their opinions on two propositions that would greatly affect our city. As some of you might know, the Long Beach Business Journal does a good job at covering relevant news of our city and has also been very vocal in mayoral campaigns, our airport extention and now, proposition B anc C.
For those of you who might not know, both props would allow council members longer terms and more money. Well that would be all fine in an economy where everyone is happy, but far from it. This topic has raised a lot of opposition an concern.
From the Long Beach Business Journal:
Voters Decide Tomorrow On Charter Amendments, 6th District Seat
On May 1, Long Beach will decide which proposed Charter amendments will go into effect. With a two-thirds council vote to override a mayoral veto, the vote turns out to be interesting; creation of a council salary commission; councilmembers could run for three terms.
Also, another measure increasing the citys per-barrel oil tax by 25 cents will probably get a resounding yes, according. And let’s not forget that the sixth district voters will also decide who will occupy their council seat.
