As Hartford considers revising the City Charter, possibly in November 2009, to address concerns that the “strong mayor” system isn’t working, residents will have opportunities to let their voices be heard on the issue. On July 24th, the Hartford Public Library will be hosting a panel (which always allows for a Q&A session) on this subject. So far, the two definite panelists (inasmuch as these things are ever definite) are Allan Taylor and John Kennelly. Matt Ritter will be moderating. The program begins at 6pm– light refreshments will be available.
If you follow the hyperlinks, you can find the complete charter for the City of Hartford, as well as a transcript from a City Council discussion of this issue. This will provide you with an idea of exactly what is being debated and what the time frames are.
