Denver Charter Changes for the November 2003 Ballot
Question 1A is the subject of this discussion from the Rocky Mountain News [October 11, 2003, "Changing the rules]. Linda Seebach is the moderator and the participants are Kathleen MacKenzie, President Pro Tem of City Council and Dan Brown from Denver International Airport. From the discussion, "MacKenzie: 'I think Mr. Brown is unnecessarily worried about the fate of city employees under this charter amendment. I think it provides as much protection for the merit system as in the existing charter, but it allows the city and city employees to have the freedom for creating a better system. I think it's a great thing for Denver.' Brown: 'And we don't. And we think that the citizens of Denver need to look closely at how this has moved decision-making from an independent board following solid personnel principles to the City Council and the mayor, and how this will create a less-than-good system much like we had before.'"
