Citizens in Charge

The Big Spring City Council Tuesday approved Mayor Tommy Duncan’s recommendation to form a special committee to look at city council term limits, as well as “initiative and referendum”. Mayor Duncan is suggesting two, three year terms as the limit for a person to serve on city council. Initiative and referendum, says Duncan, would offer voters more opportunity to affect decisions on larger projects in the future, whether it be to promote a project concept, or to repeal something already put in place by a city council.
