Yet more Home Rule

The civil service amendment is a fuzzy bit of legaleze that appears to say nothing. It actually opens the door to alter out city charter further. You see, first Home Rule passed a measure to "let us" change our city without asking all of Missouri to get involved. Now they're pushing changes that put most of the power in the hands of the mayor. Now think about the mayors we've had over the years... Would you want to give them 80% control over the city? I wouldn't.
Home Rule says it "• Creates a more effective and more modern public sector workforce to serve residents better" But doesn't say how

"• Allows the Civil Service Commission to recommend changes of personnel policy to the Board of Aldermen, who will act as the people’s representatives, and save the cost of a municipal election" Letting a non-elected comission represent us? I think not!
