Amherst council-manager charter supporters take first move
Backers of the proposed council-manager city charter issued a statement to voters in Amherst as opponents promise a reply next week. The two sides are members of the charter commission with debates over firing and hiring rules and the two thirds vote needed to hire or fire the manager. The group argues the full time manager improves efficiency beyond a council mayor setup, while opponents insist on strong mayor provisions and limit tax impact to the elected vote. The Amherst News Times editorial favored the charter, and both sides plan further statements and notes as the campaign begins.
