Wilmington Creates Charter Review Board

Wilmington’s City Council just approved a new Charter Advisory Board to overhaul the city’s rulebook — seven diverse members will review and recommend changes, with council leaders picking three and others selecting from nominees. Councilmember Chris Johnson warned that past charter amendments often stall in Dover, blaming lack of lobbying power — noting recent wins were driven by the administration. This isn’t the first attempt; a summer recess tweak from years ago still awaits state approval. Council President Trippi Congo argues for more local control. The board will include historians, educators, elders, and young adults to ensure all voices are heard. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
