NYC Independent Youth Speak on Behalf of Nonpartisan Elections at Brooklyn Charter Revision Hearing

Again, thanks for this post from The Hankster.


NYC Independent youth speak out on behalf of nonpartisan elections at Charter Revision Commission public hearing at St. Francis Community College, downtown Brooklyn, April 20, 2010. Speakers included Bryan Puertas, Liza Garcia, Francelli Chapman, and Tracy Thomas. Extended dialogue with Commissioners Chairman Matthew Goldstein, Hope Cohen, and Kathryn Patterson.

I am surprised that after a number of meetings, the Commission did not known about how other cities use Non-Partisan Elections. But with the delivery of the petition signed by under 30 independents, maybe this initiative has a chance to get on the ballot.
