Too bad that no men volunteered. But that means that 50% of any complaints about the eventual outcome may be safely ignored.

If you want the job done right, hire a woman! Century sure needs to get some corrective measures in place and fix what's broken. Time for some good news from the Northend of the county!

Hopefully you can write a charter that can make the council work together and to simply make some work at all. Good luck to the committee and thanks for your service.

Do your community well! Best wishes. Two suggestions as you develop your new charter: A. Establish a section calls for council districts that avoid gerrymandered boundaries. (One of the reasons our nation is so politically polarized is because of hard gerrymandering by BOTH parties. Districts should represent neighborhoods, not power plays that split neighborhoods.) B. Schedule municipal elections in concert with the cycle of major primary and general elections. This should ensure greater public participation in governance. Congratulations ladies!
