IN SUPPORT OF 2A by Citizen Tracey Snyder, Opinion Article

IN SUPPORT OF 2A

I am writing this letter to the people of Commerce City not as a Councilmember, but as a citizen.

Currently on the ballots that you have received, is a question about allowing three possible terms for City Council Members, instead of two. I am in favor of this opportunity. Council Members attend many conferences, and countless hours of training in the years that they serve. The time that it takes to really understand what you need to know to be effective is considerable. Once you have a Councilmember that is trained and knowledgeable, you have an investment in that person. A Councilmember who wished to be re-elected for a third term must be elected for that term. If they were not doing a good job, the people could vote them out of office. But the people that are serving the community well could have a chance to put the knowledge that they have gained back to work for the good people of our city.

Please vote YES on 2A! Let’s keep our investment working for us!

Sincerely,

Tracey Snyder

Commerce City Citizen
