Here’s a review and fact check of the one hour town hall on home rule in Douglas County. One whole hour! With some casual electioneering from the dais. Cool cool.

Proposed Douglas County timeline above.
ABOUT THE CHARTER TIMELINE: I recorded this late late at night and I misspoke in the podcast, I said August 8 is when the public meetings end but it’s August 12. I had assumed the first public meeting would take place July 23, but nope, it would need to be to be somewhere July 8-10 (with the charter commission barely formed!), then July 23-25-ish for the second meeting, then August 7-12 for the last. Super tight timeline with very little wiggle room. A risky move—unless a charter is written and just waiting to be rubber-stamped.
