Yes, there's a chance.  If those of us who support the idea put in quite a bit of hard 
work to get PR on the ballot.  Having seen the process used to redistrict this city, 
I'd imagine many voters are ready to make the change.

Anyone else interested in working on this?

I'm in favor of PR (proportional representation) voting for city council 
members, for all the reasons David Shove and Ken Bearman named.

Is there any chance at all of getting such a change made to the city 
charter?
