The Mayor, and others, have rationalized their stand against a Charter Review that might ultimately lead to the barring of elected officials being able to do business with the City by stating that such a prohibition would lead to a deficiency in both the quality and quantity of people that would be able to run for a Council seat.  They say that the 1990 Charter amendment was a good for the City because it would open the floodgates to all of the qualified people that were being excluded from public service because they “did” business with the City. Below are lists of each Council since the Charter was amended.  Give them a quick scan and see if you think the argument holds any water.  I plan to write more on this topic as the week progresses.
