I'm wondering whether the entire Council election should be thrown out. I thought of running but one reason I didn't was that the salary of a council member is only $600 per month. The job attracts only people have a lot of passive income to live off of, but I don't and it would be difficult to find a second job or gifts that wouldn't give me a c-of-i (too :)
So what if I were to challenge the election on that basis? Maybe others feel the same way. If I had run, or if others similarly situated had run, maybe the whole set of results would be different.
