We Won!
The people of Johnson City chose to retain the democratic rights that are written into the Johnson City charter. Together, we sent a message to the Johnson City Board of Commissioners that says:
- We want MORE, not fewer, opportunities to review and understand the proposed city budget
- We want MORE, not less, time to prepare for public hearings on ordinances that affect our neighborhoods and communities
- We want good city jobs to stay good city jobs
- We want city elections to be held on a day that more–not fewer–people vote, we don’t want the 2026 city elections canceled, and we don’t want commissioners to receive nearly two-year extensions of their terms.
