As reported by Shaun Sutner here at the on July shaun sutner5th in his column  “Strong Mayor on the Fast Track”,   next Tuesday City Council meeting could be very interesting.

The Worcester Community-Labor Coalition is planning to present their poll results to City Council on whether the citizens want to keep the current city manager or switch to a strong mayor form of governing.

Although the results were very close, one would think that the Worcester Community Labor Coalition will ask the Council to follow the option Shaun laid out.poll results

July 5th column:

“But there is another, much faster, way to do charter change.  That is by a council home petition, under which the council would vote to put the proposal to the public, the Legislature approves it, and the people vote. ” 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UPDATE

 

Evidently we (and WoMag) (and now the Telgram note tweet below)  thought wrong.  The Worcester Community Labor Coalition is not seeking this route (vote to change the form of government) as pointed out in Kevin Ksen’s tweet above.

Since there are only two options that the electorate can vote on and our conclusion above was incorrect.   I guess the Worcester Community Labor Coalition wants a review of the City Charter, then the electorate will vote on any proposed changes to the City Charter.

Stay  tuned!!
