Heard that the Commission wants to discuss putting March elections on the ballot again...

I'm all for it as long the resulting extension of terms doesn't benefit anyone currently in office.  If it gets on the ballot in March - for a special election - then it should become effective in two years.  If it is immediate, the current District #3 Commissioner would have one full extra year in office, without the benefit of the public voting for her for that year - just one example.  And, if we have a special election in March for this item, we should also put the expanded Commission idea (7 seats -  three at-large including the Mayor, four that are elected solely from the districts they represent.)
