It does suggest, as I have in the past, that we need a more flexible |
| 14 |
mechanism for sizing the council. 7 was merely chosen to be the number |
| 15 |
for the first election. |

Might be worth some experimentation as to whenever _ron ends up above a |
| 18 |
certain percentage for any given candidate, going back historically. The |
| 19 |
overall effect would be similar to a minority veto on candidates by |
| 20 |
shrinking the council rather than replacing them with someone else. |
