![I asked McOsker what problem he believes the charter reform process is meant to solve.
“The problem continues to be distrust in government,” he said. “The belief that we’re not open and public.”
Doesn’t the council’s killing of the commission’s package exacerbate that problem?
“The work that everyone did [in the commission] was disadvantaged by the process,” he said. “I want to go around the city. I want to get input from the folks who are totally and completely pissed off.”
McOsker said he expected 12 months of hearings and deliberations, followed by a package of charter reforms to go to the ballot in 2028.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:un2gkb36rhli75ln2ix7kxa3/bafkreifvfpozkz45gzn7zq3ptd2u5lrfamt5j7lpimb4jojoxdqiaqvzie)
![Not sure what to say? Use our script:
Hi there, I’m [ ]. (If they’re your Councilmember, say: “and I’m a constituent, living in [ NEIGHBORHOOD ].”)
I’m calling to ask that you, as a member of the Rules Committee, vote to advance lowering the voting age to the full City Council. No further study is required to allow City Council to lower the voting age: we need to let the voters decide.
Thank you for your time.
Feel free to add your own favorite reasons for lowering the voting age!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:un2gkb36rhli75ln2ix7kxa3/bafkreiact4e2clfkgqteznqfv4jvnukmrdpnijy2by3vptbnzslka3wxpy)
