This charter revision did not include Danbury's public opinions at the public hearing. Vote No!

I sat in on all the meetings. This was rushed through More transparency needed. I recorded the 07-09 charter. Took over a year. Not a few weeks. The president of the city council was against a four year term as another former city council member. They should be listened too. A two year term gives the peopleba voice. A four year term takes away our voice. This charter needs to go back to committee for changes that are good for the people. Not the mayor

None of the proposed charter changes benefit the population or the tax paying public.

Nothing in our charter should ever take rights or control away from the people and give it to the government

Because the people of danbury deserve to be heard, represented and supported. We deserve a real democracy.

The lack of full transparency, mutating the process without fair representation of all citizen interests and voices, and ignoring historical debate by members of your own party as to why a 4yr term is senseless and gives power to the administration without the ability for the citizenry to check and balance that power all speaks for itself. As a native of Danbury and bearing witness to many corrupt administrations I wholeheartedly object to the passage of this revision.

Don’t want any local government to be in office longer than they deserve to be.

The revised charter puts too much power into the hands of a single person, the mayor of Danbury. In a small town like Danbury, where there is not very much transparency within the government, we need checks and balances to ensure that no single person can make important decisions pertaining to finance, hiring, education, etc., without oversight and accountability.

danbury residents deserve full transparency as to why this is being initiated. and it should NapT be fast tracked to align with the next mayoral election. Typically it takes approx 15 months… what is Mayor Alves motive?

Put money into cleaning up illegal immigrants and this city. Stop giving yourself raises. We need a real mayor.
