General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

[Jacob Fox]

that being said, i am very unlikely to not have known that beforehand

 

[Jacob Fox]

Not trying to sound like a know it all, because I of course knew nothing of that before you told me

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

Tho im not fan of either one really this election

 

[Chris]

@Chris that is an interesting question. I probably would have voted to raise it because I always research elections I can vote on before hand. So if I knew it was 2 already, I would have voted yes. If I was misinformed and DIDN'T know it was already limited, I would have voted no

yes you made me wonder if it actually could backfire on them if people are against limits, but I think they're assuming most people are for limits and that's why it's not mentioned that 2 is already the limit

 

[Chris]

Not trying to sound like a know it all, because I of course knew nothing of that before you told me

no I had researched and knew before too so same deal, that's why I gave the info before asking

 

[Chris]

But yeah the mayor is basically at the end of his second term and they added this provision right at deadline to raise term limits for him and the council

 

[Jacob Fox]

With all the information you gave me, I would have voted yes. Because a no vote would have it as 2 terms then

 

[Jacob Fox]

But yeah the mayor is basically at the end of his second term and they added this provision right at deadline to raise term limits for him and the council

That should not be legal. If they do that, it should only apply to the next people elected

 

[Jacob Fox]

Like in Congress... if they vote themselves a raise, it doesn't come into existence until the next Congress

 

[Chris]

A nearby provision was worded similarly and got struck down for being misleading so I do think this one might too but I don't really know how consistent the Texas supreme Court is with these things

 

[Chris]

the second provision is for the mayor and council to have a raise starting next term too

 

[Jacob Fox]
