California: City charter measure debate heats up
Perhaps still on edge from a contentious local election in November, Rancho Palos Verdes voters have found themselves in the middle of another ballot-box battle - this time, over the seemingly tame topic of a city charter. n March 8, voters will weigh Measure C, which would transform the 37-year-old municipality from a general law city to a charter city, thereby giving it more control over local affairs and potentially more say over its finances.
