Ballot information restrictions
Summary
Members learned the city legally cannot advocate for its own charter amendments or even mail explanatory materials — a state law passed a few years ago clamps down on government-funded advocacy. Explanatory materials can sit on a website or at libraries, but can't be mailed or pushed out.

Impact analysis
Voters still get neutral explanations on the city website and at public buildings.
Voters who don't check the website or visit city offices may never see the reasoning behind a ballot question.
