As ward vote nears, Columbus leaders plan charter review

A committee will conduct a "comprehensive review" of how the Columbus City Council is structured, Mayor Andrew J. Ginther and Councilman Shannon Hardin plan to announce on Wednesday. But the review of the Columbus City Charter will not be completed before voters decide whether to increase the size of the council and add district representatives in a special election on Aug. 2, the mayor's spokeswoman, Robin Davis, said.
