No.(for a variety of reasons: 1. charter amendments will now have simple majority and one week voting time, which is too light IMO and 2. After an amendment a new post should be made with the complete new charter in it, and the old one archived. Much clearer).

[QuietDad]

No for the same reasons

[HEM]

Aye, one week is actually too long in my opinion.

[Polkstreet]

Nay.I missed the discussion on this because I was drifting in the ocean the week it was under consideration. One week or less to vote on major legislation? Inadequate.

[king j]

Nay for the same reason as Polk
