Two Detroit Charter Revision advocates say officials citing financial concerns over the revision are missing the point.
Tuesday, May 11 is the deadline to decide whether Detroit voters will have a say in changing the city’s governing structure on August 3. The Detroit Charter Revision Commission was approved by voters in 2018 to recommend changes to the city’s charter for the benefit of residents.
