Portland holds City Charter Commission elections on Tuesday June 8, 2021. Voting takes place in the Community Center from 6:45 am until 8:00 pm.
I spoke with Peter McLaughlin of the Peaks Island Council about what the issues are in this seemingly run-of-the-mill process. As it turns out - quite a lot. From whether to strengthen the mayor's role to how city council districts are apportioned and more, the Charter is our City's founding document.
