Question 6 for Cape Cod. What's it all about?

Besides the five statewide ballot questions, Barnstable County voters will face Question 6 on the Nov. 5 election ballot which calls for giving the Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates more power over the budget.

And the referendum has driven a wedge between the Assembly and the Barnstable County Board of Regional Commissioners, the county’s three-member executive board, which prepares the county budget.

In Question 6, the Assembly of Delegates has added a multi-part question seeking changes in the county charter.

The Assembly, the legislative branch of the county government representing all 15 Cape towns, is seeking to “have a clear role in proposing and amending legislation and in providing budget oversight,” an overview of Question 6 states.
