I'm actually glad that elected officials participation in this forum is low.
I think that if elected officials started using this forum as another place
to debate one another, this forum would become lost to the citizens. It
would become another floor of the Council, except one not ruled by Roberts
Rules of Order. I like that this is a place primarily for citizens, not
professionals and hope that it stays that way.

PS I can say that most elected officials in the City do monitor this list to
keep up on what is being said.
