City boundaries are not changing, but I agree with Andy, that its important to keep the mayoral election in sync with the city council races to strengthen voter turnout. If this initiative passes, RT should run again in 2003 with everyone else (good thing they saved those signs). I wholeheartedly support this legislation, whatever the cost to the electorate, whatever the inconvenience to the elected. The last thing we need is more ambiguity and confusion in government. Lets be clear with the people about who's representing who, and make sure that everyone is informed about the process. This is fundamental to democracy, to ignore it for 10 more years would be lousy government.
