Please enjoy this video replay of the October 27th Town Hall to discuss the November Ballot
We're inviting parties from both sides of the issues to come make their case for why you should vote Yes or No.
We will not be hearing from candidates running for office. While we try to have a representative from official organizations on both sides of the issues, not everyone responds and not every issue has an official organization actively campaigning on behalf of that issue. In this case, we have invited Jim Edson from the League of Women Voters to provide unbiased, researched information about the issue.
Agenda:
Constitutional Amendment No. 1
Will override the current constitutional restrictions of state investments by the state treasurer and allow the state to invest in municipal securities.
Representative Emily Weber (District 24)
Unbiased research from League of Women Voters - Jim Edson, League of Women Voters
