[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea is that every resident is represented by the majority of the Council. You get five votes, not just one. You have five out of nine people to address your concerns - not just one out of nine. [/quote] That's a straw man argument to maintain the status quo which fits the council's interests. The four at-large members attentions are diluted. There's going to be a lot of finger pointing on who takes up an issue. One person who represents 100k is going to be more responsive than one person who represents 1 million. If everyone's in charge, no one's in charge. If that councilmember actually lives in your district he/she would have a better handle on the issue you're trying to articulate. [/quote]
