Satisfaction?

Thanks to RUTA for suggesting this topic.

Are you satisfied with your council? Are the meetings productive or is the council moving too slow? Is the slow movement a good thing representing a more deliberative pace or just stagnant government? Is the slow movement part of a divided council? Is the council too divided or just representative of a divided city? By my count we had three 4-3 votes at the last meeting. That may be a problem for some and not for others. A careful examination will show that the make-up of the yeahs and nays was different each time. Is the council addressing the important issues or skirting these issues? What positives do you see in city government? What changes would you like to see?
