I have asked this before ( http://www.speakupwny.com/forums/sho...ter#post560891 ), why do people believe that downsizing the council will have any substantive effect on the ills they complain about?

Unlike a Town the citizens of a City like Lackawanna can amend by petition (and in fact the same process to reduce/change the makeup of the Council) to address the very ills they complain about?
