The very close federal election has focused unusual attention to the rules we use to govern our nation. While change at the federal level is considered difficult, we have amended the US Constitution 27 times. The last amendment took place in 1992. It was originally proposed in 1789.
Good governance is always a work in progress.
Like the federal document, there is a process to change it. It just so happens that we have a sitting charter commission currently at work. We elected them over a year ago. These nine individuals are charged with making recommendations for improvements. Next November, we will vote either to approve or to disapprove the charter commission's final recommendations.
