Debate over Covington government conversion intensifies
Covington residents will vote on whether to convert their city government from a city manager form to a mayor-council form, with proponents arguing it is more straightforward, efficient, and better for economic development, while opponents worry it could lead to an over-concentration of power in the office of the mayor or that it could serve as a vehicle for the municipal government to be captured by special interests.
