Giles County Votes NO On The Home Rule Charter
Posted on August 02, 2012
The big question posed before Giles County voters yesterday was the question of a Home Rule Charter. Such a charter would set term limits for elected officials and also do away with the need to send legislation to the state for approval.
Local voters were decidedly against the Home Rule Charter, voting it down 2,553 to 1,791. That’s 63.49% against to 36.51% in favor.
