The reason people only elect the same people year after year is because these are often the only people that run! And of course the pay sucks.

I find it ironic that the auditor will be guaranteed direct and timely access to information, whereas the city council cannot. This is due to our ridiculous city manager form of government. It is past time to scrap this in favor of a strong Mayor and Council system, which holds the decision makers accountable to the people.
