| Charter Study Commission will make recommendations |
| By Administrator |

The Plymouth County Charter Study Commission met Feb. 15 in Brockton. The 19-member panel was elected in November to study and make a recommendation to possibly create a county charter and change the form of or abolish county government. The commission’s recommendation will be placed on the 2012 state ballot for county voters to decide.
At the Feb. 15 meeting, Chairman Charles Markham of Norwell and member Ted Bosen of Plymouth led the effort to establish five committees to conduct investigations of the options for the commission’s recommendation next year. The committees are: Committee on Regional Councils of Government, Committee on Special State Charters, Committee on other Traditional Forms of County Government, Committee on Abolition of County Government, and Committee on Plymouth County. The last committee will study current county operations and what would happen with a recommendation of no change to county government. Each committee will report their findings within six to nine months. Commission meetings will be held on the first Tuesday monthly at 7 p.m. The first 30 minutes of meetings will be for public comments. The next meeting will be on March 1 at the Academy Building, 66 Central Square, Bridgewater. Anthony O’Brien |
