I'm trying to visualize calling my council member (Don Samuels) on an issue and having him me ask me where I lived, only to hear him reply that he's sorry, but he can't help me, as I won't be in his ward after next year.
Heck, on the brighter-side it might even make more council-members more receptive to the needs of a wider range of voters. If you're a council-member contemplating re-election, the last thing you want to do is seem unreceptive to voters that MIGHT be in your ward the next time you run for re-election :-)
