To the editor: Charter committee did its job

In response to the editorial “Abolish charter review,” July 14, The Blade need not worry about abolishing the charter review committee, because there is not, nor has there ever been to my knowledge, a charter review committee. If The Blade had done its homework, you would have found, in the Toledo Charter, Section 209, Charter Revision Committee. The purpose of the Committee is to review the Charter in detail, and recommend changes which it deems appropriate. Council has the authority to combine or change any of what is recommended. Whatever Council decides must be put on the next citywide election for approval or rejection. In July, 2021, Mayor Kapszukiewicz appointed the electors, selected the Chairperson, etc. I was one of those chosen.
