Maybe the Argus Leader’s Ed Board needs to read the Home Rule Charter

by

How many times do I have to post about this? The council is powerless under the Home Rule Charter;

However, the fact that Huether directed the money shift largely without the City Council’s consent isn’t a practice he should continue.

While I agree that the council needs to be let in on decisions, under the charter, the mayor is not required to tell them a damn thing. That’s how I interpret the charter and Munson certainly did to. If the council really wants to change things, they would repeal home rule instead of crying to the media about it. The media isn’t your boss, we are.

    I’m not sure the council can do anything.

    There’s no provision in city code section 2 to recall the mayor or (otherwise) to repeal home rule.

    They can initiate a new code without the mayor. How about a code to recall the mayor? Then, do it if he’ll not repeal home rule.

    Sounds like the charter is something cooked up in a Cracker Jack box.

    Where can I read the Home Rule Charter?
    When was it enacted?
