Councils can create laws and pass resolutions, but in NC, the laws we can create have a very limited scope. This is part of why we can't establish rent control or regulate towing fees, for instance.

Part of our job is to keep up with what's going on in the community. Some of our most important work is done with partner institutions - like the folks who provide affordable housing, or who make sure our homeless folks have a path back to housing.
Finally, it's part of our job as representatives not just to serve as passive conduits for what people value, but to play an active role in shaping those values. That's one of the hardest parts of the job - and the most rewarding.
