I get the goal, I'm just saying that I don't think shrinking the city council automatically does both of these things. To lessen corruption, you need more than just a smaller council as size of city council is not the sole or root cause of corruption. |
Both are growing in population and have stronger economies. Why wouldn't we try to change our ways? We have decades of evidence showing what we are doing does not work. Can't we at least try a smaller council? It seems strange that you are so opposed to this.
