THE PEOPLE OF FISHERS DESERVE BETTER GOVERNMENT!
|
With a population of nearly 70,000 residents, a City of Fishers would have
9 councilors. Six would be in neighborhood districts and three would be at-
large. The six councilors from districts are only voted on by the voters of
their respective districts. A district councilor represents and answers
directly to the district residents. Currently, all town councilors all must live
in a certain district, but are elected at-large. Thus, they do not represent a
particular district, because everyone is voting on them. As a result,
residents are not given the respect they deserve. In city government,
councilors are more responsive to the people’s needs in their
neighborhood, because only their neighborhood elects them. In a city, the
at-large councilors work closely with the district councilors to help meet
neighborhood needs.
