You raised some good points here. But I don't think two years helps |
46 |
anybody at all. Here are some of the reasons why. |
47 |
|
48 |
In the last council we lost almost half of the people. Extending that |
49 |
for 2 years.. What's it solve? 1/3rd of the orig ppl will be on the |
50 |
council by the time the terms are over? People change as well as what |
51 |
they want to do. Don't tie them up in the politics for so long that they |
52 |
lose whatever good it was that made them a dev in the first place. |
53 |
If they are good at being a councilmen then the chances of them being |
54 |
reelected is good. 2 years terms means we can also be stuck with a |
55 |
**ckhead for a long time. Big no thanks there. Plus it's nice to cycle |
56 |
some new blood in. |
57 |
|
58 |
I'm in favor of 1 year terms for council. Trustees on the other hand.. 2 |
59 |
years would be nice as the first few months seems to be spent sorting |
60 |
out stuff from the previous set (paper work etc..) |
