What does this measure do?
This charter change would end the rule that bars Allegheny County Council members from getting county money for personal staff, district offices, and benefits like health insurance and pensions. Nothing changes right away, but council could later vote to fund these with taxpayer money.
Proposed by: Allegheny County Council
The county's elected part-time lawmakers, by a 9-6 vote. They ask voters to change the county charter to end the rule barring council members from getting county-paid staff and benefits.

A YES vote means
The ban is removed. Council could later pass laws giving its members paid staff, district offices, and benefits such as health insurance and pensions, paid from the county budget. Nothing changes right away.
A NO vote means
The ban stays. Council members keep getting only their stipend, with no county-paid personal staff, district offices, health insurance, or pensions.
