Manatee County Commissioner George Kruse March 3 stood down his fact-finding mission to implement a county charter government.
The move came two days after Kruse attended a meeting hosted by the city of Anna Maria with a city attorney, Wade Vose, via Zoom, who detailed the ramifications for the city of a charter county government.
A charter county is a county with a unique set of laws that forms the legal basis of its government. Resembling state or federal constitutions, charters and amendments must be approved by 50%-plus one of county voters. According to Kruse, 80% of counties in the state are charter county governments.
