Totally agree here. This form of government is just not working well for Worcester.

Well it's not working because too many of the entrenched councilors aren't willing to do anything approaching "leadership". This might be an unpopular opinion, but I'm not sure that would necessarily change with a strong mayor system. We need better councilors before anything else!

That is a very good point! Would love to continue to see new faces on the city council that are smart and take the job seriously.

Also in favor of time limits for councilors speaking as well. If you can’t make your point clearly in 2 minutes - your mic gets cut. 😂 The usual suspects blather on forever with no direction. It’s exhausting to listen to.
