Peter G. Arlos, chair of the Democratic City Committee, called Mayor Dillon's seven member charter revision committee an exercise in futility. He blamed Gov. Peabody's veto of a local voting reform bill for signaling no charter change during a long November ballot. He urged focus on poverty, jobs, tax relief, and unemployment retraining instead of charter debates.
