Two City Charter Amendments Endorsement for Long Beach Voters
Long Beach voters face two charter amendments approved by the City Council for public submission. The first repeals a 47 year residency rule for city employees, argued as obsolete and hindering qualified staff. The second would authorize revenue bonds backed by tideland funds for shoreline projects, without raising property taxes, to accelerate major improvements and stabilize funding ahead of rising costs. The editorial urges careful study and predicts a large affirmative vote on election day.
