What is wrong with the current system? Does it really need to be fixed?
In the current system, everyone is in charge, so no one is in charge. It’s too easy to pass the buck, point fingers, and sweep tough problems under the rug. Year after year, city fails to makes progress on key problems like the budget, economy, and crime. It’s why 72% of the top 100 cities in the US have switched to this model. In California, five of the state’s largest cities have a mayor-council form of government.
