[quote=Anonymous]Greatly increase the county legislative reps & BOE seats to make them more individually/local-communuty responsive. Make planning boards similarly elected instead of appointed. Get rid of at-large seats which only reinforce majority hegemony. Elect them every 2 years. Pay these elected reps well enough to make the job full time at a reasonably professional level. Counter the increased cost of their salaries with lower allocations for legislative staff, since they wouldn't need as much outreach support to cover their smaller constituencies. Force the above with ballot initiatives. Side benefit: special interests that end up with outsized influence from their campaign contributions would see that influence diluted. [/quote]
