My expressed opinion from a recent newspaper article in The Times concerning the at-large voting process claim versus elected mayor and city form of government: I ascribed to the school of thought that an elected mayor-council form of city government is the soil of opportunity and the seed of growth. In order for government to grow and thrive, it must be inclusive of all its residents born or adopted through migration within its boundary, for each seed brings forth an abundance unless it’s stopped, stifled or choked out. Furthermore, an elected mayor and council (ward) government provides a greater opportunity for generations to come.
