How big should a city council be?

Should it be a set number of Council members, or should it be determined every ten years with the census and evaluated based on population size, or would you shrink the Council? Chime in. I'd love to hear your ideas. Like I said, I'm in the early stages of writing my platform as I begin my run for City Council

GREAT question!

Really great question, Jack. I have voted for city Council members. I've watched and been a part of many city Council meetings, and I have never given thought about how the number of city Council members has been determined and how that is maintained. And I just did a quick search around cities in North America and found that there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason on number of city Council members. And I see New York and Toronto as high as 50

How is it running for office right now?

I think there's so much attention at the top of the ballot and wondering how people down the ballot and more local are actually and especially with Covet, it's very tough to have any sort of meetings and just curious on how you're actually running, what the reaction is to a local basis, especially when we have so much attention on the top of the ballot, how everything is going and what it is like to actually campaign right now for a city Council position

And if he does, that is going to make leaps and bounds in legitimizing the Libertarian Party of Indiana. If he does win. And like I said, I think he will. Then the next turn, I'm going to run as a Libertarian because I'll be viewed as a legitimate major party contender here in the city where I'm at. But what I've been doing before my run, I'm in the early stages of forming what we call the Howard County. I do apologize
