Hall is one of several community forces who pushed for comprehensive [[charter review]] for the City of Pensacola. The [[City Charter]] had not undergone comprehensive review since it was adopted in [[1931]] by an action of the City Council. It had never been adopted by the electorate in Pensacola, which was a concern of the [[Pensacola Bay Area League of Women Voters]] (PBALWV). Moreover, the League of Women Voters cited flaws with provisions for citizen-led referenda that allowed the [[Pensacola City Attorney]] to interpret the provision at his or her convenience. Hall failed to get a second the first two times he moved to adopt charter review, and on a third try received four votes in favor. After the PBALWV joined with a movement proposing a [[strong mayor]] form of government, all nine Council members voted with him to form a [[Charter Review Commission]]. | Hall is one of several community forces who pushed for comprehensive [[charter review]] for the City of Pensacola.
