Commission schedules re-vote after attorneys draft ballot language; approves rule for fund-request review
Summary
The commission set a re-vote for July 16, 2025 to review attorney-drafted ballot questions and approved a rule requiring any future requests for additional funds to go before the full commission for a majority vote; minutes note counsel later found one procedural motion invalid.
Commissioner Anitra Hadley moved that the commission hold another vote following review of ballot questions as drafted by attorneys and before the questions are presented to the clerk for submission to the Board of Elections, setting the re-vote for July 16, 2025; Mary Kingsley seconded. The roll-call vote passed Yes: 8, No: 5, Abstain: 1. The minutes include a counsel memo saying this particular motion was later reviewed and determined to be invalid.
Separately, Commissioner Eileen Lambert moved that any requests for additional funds going forward be brought before the full commission for a majority vote before the request goes to the Comptroller. The roll-call vote recorded Yes: 11, No: 1, Abstain: 1, and the motion passed; the minutes note uncertainty about who seconded.
