Thank you! This is really what I was looking for - a narrative explanation of how the ballot questions affect the city government's functionality. I found the summary by Helen Anthony that he referenced, too - it's on her website under "Ward Letters" in the letter for October 23, 2022. I knew there had to be people somewhere who had opinions about the ballot questions! Guess I should start reading those political mailers before I toss them in the recycling :)

Thanks! It's helpful just to see her explain how she voted and why, even if I don't agree with her on everything. I agree it's frustrating that there isn't a more neutral source for information on these questions. A lot of the questions are so specific and such "inside baseball" and it feels weird that we, the voters, are making these decisions based on little or no information. Like, how am I supposed to know what an appropriate spending threshold is for the Department of Public Property?
