Voting takes place in the Community Center from 6:45 am until 8:00 pm. <br/><br/>I spoke with Peter McLaughlin of the Peaks Island Council about what the issues are in this seemingly run-of-the-mill process. As it turns out - quite a lot. From whether to strengthen the mayor&apos;s role to how city council districts are apportioned and more, the Charter is our City&apos;s founding document. <br/><br/>If you want to hear from the candidates directly, here is the link to the candidate forums hosted by PIC and moderated by Peter: <a href='https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zxwuqE2oUm2HN-5k2RZJ2HZrb0fsZCVKOqAsg9poMEI/edit'>Charter Candidate Forums</a>.</p> <a rel=\"payment\" href=\"https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FRFUWGPGNC4JA\">Support the show</a> (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FRFUWGPGNC4JA)\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: <a href=\"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peaksislandradio/support\" rel=\"payment\">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peaksislandradio/support</a>","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/4468c64a-6839-408d-860a-e60544b6c144/896cb87ac39cb945.jpeg"}
