Charter Commission adds back At-Large seats

   August 20, 2009

The Pensacola Charter Review Commission bowed to the unspoken demands of certain city council members and voted to amend their charter proposal to include two At-large seats on the council. Two months ago, Commission member DeeDee Ritchie made a motion to have the at-large seats, but her motion failed to get a second.

The good news is that the proposed charter could be before the city voters by November, if the city council allows it. The At-large seats appeared to be the biggest stumbling block.
