Charter Reform Must Be Transparent, Says Supervisor

11 May 2026 16:20

San Diego County Supervisor Joel Anderson has introduced an alternative charter reform proposal to address concerns about transparency and rushed revisions. - The original proposal included last-minute changes that limited public review.

- Anderson's measure removes provisions allowing sitting supervisors to extend term limits and increases political control over appointments. - It establishes an elected independent auditor and restores contracting safeguards.

- The revised proposal aims to build public trust through an open process with community engagement.
