Reduce The Number Of Councilmen For Youngstown

[jay]

Youngstown hit its peak population in 1950.  At that time each councilman would have represented a little over 24,000 residents.

If equally divided today, each councilman would only represent about 9,500 residents.  Lacking the redistricting that is needed, one councilwoman today represents only 7,200 residents.

Hell Yeah!

It looks as though the recent city council demotions have encouraged some west side residents to start talking about reducing the number of city councilmen from seven down to five.

Question
Would you be in favor of creating a five member city council?
