The Boston Globe has an article outlining the potential impact of the proposed change to the City charter and the people backing it.

“Supporters say the existing council is too unwieldy. …[Opponents worry that] all twelve councilors …would need to run city-wide races.”

“Donations to the pro-change campaign…include a number of real estate types. Robert Korff, who is trying to redesign a key stretch of Washington Street, gave $1,000. Scott Oran, a developer behind a Newtonville apartment project, contributed $500. The biggest donation, though, came from the private equity world: Dan Fireman of Fireman Capital Partners gave $10,000, or nearly one-sixth of the total collected through Oct. 20.”

“Yes, there’s a mayor’s race this fall, too. …But it’s the charter question that could have a much bigger impact on the Garden City’s future.”
