Debate over proposed Rules of Procedure changes raises questions about independence, accountability, and representation on regional boards

The Clark County Council is considering new language in its Rules of Procedure that would require councilors serving on boards and commissions to vote in line with the council’s official position. The discussion follows last year’s removal of Councilor Michelle Belkot from the C-TRAN board after she said she would vote independently on light rail-related costs. Supporters of the proposed changes say they would clarify authority and ensure a unified voice, while critics argue they would undermine independent judgment and voter representation. This poll asks readers where they stand on that question.
