Labor, NAACP leaders weigh in on Columbus City Council overhaul
After decades of debate over whether Columbus City Council should switch from an at-large election system to district representation, the districts question is again heading to voters.
But a second, more complicated question could also appear on the ballot. Columbus City Council has effectively a week to decide whether to place a proposal on the ballot alongside the citizen-led Our City, Our Say coalition's "simple fix."
At a hearing on Aug. 17, multiple City Council members and the vast majority of speakers expressed support for district representation, but some want to preserve a few at-large seats. Influential leaders for city labor and civil rights groups for the first time weighed in publicly and came out in support of council addressing more complex reforms.
Labor and Black leaders raise concerns on Columbus City Council reform effort
Dozens of Columbus residents voiced support for changing how Columbus City Council members get elected, but a small influential contingent of Black community leaders and labor unions raised concerns about the measure.
Council held a second public hearing Monday regarding efforts to reform city council and how members get elected. City council is set to vote Monday to place the Our City Our Say charter amendment on November's ballot, which would make it so only voters within each of the nine council districts get to vote for their representative.
Council's current system has been the subject of ridicule since November's general election in District 7 where Tiara Ross won the seat citywide but lost within the bounds of her district to challenger Jesse Vogel.
