I can't remember how or why we have come to another reconsideration of the Charter. I'm not asking rhetorically. What imperfections in the recently revised charter are we seeking to eliminate?

Peter,

a review is required every ten years, it has been ten years since the new charter was approved

Thanks, Kevin.
A review is ok, but despite the fact that I don't like the strong mayor I'd prefer to rest more or less pat with the current version for another decade, at least. The devil we know.

Peter here is one imperfection...the charter with strong mayor powers allowed Perez to rule with little to no check and balance,thus enabling bad behavior like accepting the counter tops etc as a sense of entitlement I suppose.Clearly the strong mayor provisions,if we are to keep it,needs to be pared back some.

I was opposed to the strong mayor at the time, and have commented, sometimes slightly less than civilly, on the matter here.
I'd love to have the provision reconsidered, but on the other hand, there is something to be said for avoiding frequent fluctuations and revolutions in organic governing laws.
