Lynn Votes on Charter in Tomorrow's City Governance Choice
Oct 10 Lynn faces a pivotal vote on whether to repeal the present charter and adopt a new plan. Plan 1 creates a five member commission similar to Des Moines. Plan 2 installs a Mayor and City Council of 11. Current mayor Rich opposes the commission, seeking reelection. The commission would include a mayor as public safety commissioner and four other commissioners handling finance, streets, water, and public property, plus a school committee. Salaries are set at 3500 for the mayor and 3000 for each commissioner.
