Report on repealing local laws and city charters
Special Committee of the State Bar AE urges repeal of Art II Section 7 to permit cities to frame charters and abolish the local law prohibition. The 1899 Wilkes-Barre report advocates an initiative style amendment with voter approval and court validation to guard communities against hasty acts. References to the Wallace Act and prior constitutional debates frame the case for broader municipal self rule.
