A great deal of municipal politics is elected officials diligently following advice from staff. Sometimes, the staff advice is wrong, misinformed or just stuff that’s nice and convenient for staff but not for the public.

Staff seemingly came up with a non-partisan plan free of interference, with an increase in funds.

But only 1 of 9 councillors expressed any concern with a proposal cutting 80% of election workers.
