Charter Revision Hearing @ Brooklyn College Tonight
Monday, July 19th, 2010
The important, and (perhaps deliberately) obscure process of revising the City Charter continues tonight in this neighborhood, with a hearing at the Gershwin Theater at Brooklyn College at 6:00 p.m.
The topics will include a new report from the Citizens Union — you can read it here — which calls for, among other things, non-partisan elections and enhancing the status of borough presidents, the public advocate, and community boards.
Community Board 14 Chair Alvin Berk, who’s been critical of the process, suggests that the report’s a bit tilted toward the mayor, and worries that the commission will wind up narrowing the community boards’ focus under the guise of professionalizing them.
