Still mad about the lies @Jacob_Frey & @4changempls are pushing about the city structure and how it bears no resemblance to the state/federal structures.
I put together a cheat sheet on the one difference between the three. Can you figure out what it is? #NoYesYes #DontRankFrey

Defenders of question 1 might say that the council will still have oversight, but the devil is in the details.
The charter change states that the council will only be able to publicly request information from the departments. Communications will need to flow through the mayor.

The council also will not be allowed to advocate for the removal of a department head unless the mayor says so.
What good is toothless oversight?
Do we know how this would work in practice?
We do! It’s how the police department works today! Completely shielded by the mayor!

What the Charter Commission wants is for all of the city departments to work like the police department. Completely unaccountable to the city even during a crisis.
The charter commission *wants* a corrupt city government because then their money is far more valuable.

The charter commission wants more corruption because the government is more useful to their friends who have access and less useful to those who would challenge their power.
Vote No on Question 1 and #DontRankFrey.
