One Year or Three for the Boston City Clerk
In Boston voters decide whether the city clerk shall be elected annually or for a three year term. The bill, backed by city clerks seeking longer tenure, would shift powers from the Board of Aldermen and Common Council. Opponents warn of reduced public control and potential for incompetent appointees, noting records already require accuracy and oversight by a state commissioner. The measure faces a straight yes or no vote on the ballot.
