This is an important election for the City of Elkins. We will be electing a new mayor, half of the council seats are up, and the citizens will be deciding on some important key issues.
I have been in attendance at many of the meetings related to the city charter changes. While some changes were needed, some changes had objections, and it was decided they would be placed on the ballot. This is the proper way it should have been done; however, some of the more controversial topics could have been decided after the pandemic when council was able to hold consistent public meetings. I am going to address each ballot question individually.
