Why no on question 2B?

the broomfield city council is prioritizing increasing their term limits from two terms to three terms, focusing on themselves over other pressing city and county needs.

The Broomfield Charter Review Committee included two dually-elected Councilmembers who actively influenced recommendations from the committee. One recommendation is to change Broomfield’s Charter to define the number of terms that Councilmembers can be in office and at the same time set it to three four-year terms.

While the Charter Review Committee made the recommendation, the Committee also noted that this was not a priority to update in Broomfield’s Charter. Yet, the Broomfield City Council, on a split controversial 6-4 vote, approved the question for the 2024 ballot and did so ahead of the other ballot measures they approved.

Why? Because the current City Council is fixated on increasing the length of time they can be in office AND increasing their pay to become full-time, full-paid representatives. Their end goal is to turn the Broomfield Council into a political career-path while making a living off of the taxpayers for up to 12 years.

Broomfield’s history has been well served by citizen councilmembers focused on what Broomfield needs, NOT on their own political aspirations or desires. Question 2B needlessly increases council term limits and will prioritize councilmembers as career of politicians instead of councilmembers that truly represent their neighbors and fellow citizens.

Protect your vote. Vote no on Question 2B.
