Home Rule Charter would not have prevented CC

Please carefully re-read the proposed charter. There is no provision for an initiative to block a project like the hotel and convention center, once it is a part of the current budget.

That means the County Commissioners could approve a project and provide for its financing within one calendar year, before voters would have a chance to act on it. As stated in section 6.02, once a project is in the current budget or capital program, it cannot be repealed.
