[quote=Anonymous]This is all nibbling at the margins. Nine seats, whether all allocated by district or a split between district/at large, are far too few. Montgomery County has more than 1.05 million residents; even if all nine seats were allocated by district, that's each council member representing more than 110,000 people. That's absurd for what is the lowest level of local government most of us have, and guarantees that the council members can't, and don't, represent truly local interests. If you would like the council to more accurately represent the citizens of Montgomery County, advocate for 50 districts, each representing approximately 20,000 residents. [/quote]
