Poll: Does Easton Need a Bill of Rights?

Last week, Easton got its first look at a proposed citizens' bill of rights.

"This isn't citizens trying to impose anything on the city," said Dennis Lieb, one of the authors of the bill, quoted in the Express Times. "This is the citizens and the city working together to take back what is already theirs."

The bill, which will go before council on July 11, includes a number of goals, including giving residents more local control and corporations less influence over city affairs.

Among the provisions of the bill (which we've included here): 

Residents of the neighborhoods of College Hill, Downtown, South Side, and West Ward possess the right to determine the future development of their neighborhoods. 

So tell us what you think? Is this something residents need? Give us your thoughts in the comments, and take our poll.
