Measure B, on the June 7th Ballot, proposes changing the present system of the city council, electing the mayor to a one-year term annually to one in which the general electorate elects the mayor for a four-year term.
Mayor Pro Tem Noah Blom will present the case for supporting Measure B. Walter Stahr will present the case for opposing Measure B. This announcement was originally shared on Speak Up Newport.
