[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chapman and Aguirre are TIRED. Aguirre ***obnoxiously*** falling asleep during CC meetings in unacceptable and we should be letting someone like him go. Rolling his eyes at residents and other CC members is childish and pathetic. I'd love for someone to explain to me how he keeps getting votes. Greene wanting to add MORE intensive density is a real issue for me too. She needs to go. Pretty all underwhelming group of people running this year. [b]Pretty sure everyone has given up on this city at this point.[/b][/quote] Yeah, pretty much. You can see it in the turnout numbers in the primary (something like 17%). You can see it in the fact that school board only has as many candidates as it has seats. You can see it in only having one candidate for mayor. It’s a broken system. Representative democracy requires competition. It requires participation and turnout. Alexandria doesn’t have that. [/quote]
