Council Rejects Public Delegation on Term Limits: Sets Tone for New Term

by Joey Coleman

City Council set a precedent this week, voting down a public delegation request for non legal reasons. They’ve never denied a resident the right to address Council before.
They are either giving the middle finger to public engagement or deciding to focus on business solely within their jurisdiction, only time will tell.
What was the request? To suggest they consider term limits.
