Any thoughts on the Lincoln City Council May 7th general election?
Dan W:
If I were running at this time I would try to stay under the radar of the liberal attack machine by not saying anything about guns that I did not have to say

I am with Dan W on this one..... having a business here in Lincoln and being a member of LIBA, Lincoln has a whole lot of other BIG fish to fry. First is simply getting a conservative majority on the City Council. Any gun issues is not something I think the GOOD candidates i.e. Whitehead, Fellers, and Christensen are going to make issues (at this time)....

Looking at the sample ballot for the Lincoln election: can anyone tell me what the heck the "Vacancy on City Council" amendment is about? I found and read Article IV, Section 19, but I cannot find information anywhere about what the proposed amendment is.
It seems like the wrong kind of change could give the council too much power, but on the other hand, if they're just adjusting the existing language, it seems insignificant.
Anyway, any pointers to the language of the amendment would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Dan W:
Back when there was a vacancy, there was some dispute over whether city ordinances or state election statutes would rule regarding the process of filling a vacant city council seat and the nomination process.
Here is an explanation of the issues but it is a rather long and complicated one.
