after two he’ll call it quits
Nashville Mayor Bill Purcell will stop at two terms. Good call. The charter’s language is pretty clear–two terms only.
I also like his recommendation of reducing the size of our council. He says it should be 20 members instead of the current 40. I’d like to see about 9 to 13, but I’ll take 20 if that’s all I can get.
Chicago is the only U.S. city with a larger city council than we currently have. I love the city of Chicago, but in case you didn’t already know, there is nothing about Chicago politics that any other city should want to emulate.
