There is a significant ordsprog

There is a significant interest in letting elected officials represent their constituents as they see fit. And so I don't think that any effort that would limit how many bills a lawmaker could introduce or that sort of thing would necessarily get very far.

Stephen Farnsworth

The most damaging bills were defeated. One bill that would have allowed any communication between elected officials to become private was taken out. It required a lot of work among the news media and public interest groups to stop this and all the work paid off.

Our constituents are angry and frustrated with these high gas prices -- and they deserve answers and actions from their elected officials,

The voter turnout has been low and getting lower. All too often there aren't any candidates, and to run a citywide race effectively takes a lot of money and effort. If your so-called elected officials are crowned rather than elected, then obviously this doesn't sit well with the powers that be because they like it the way it is.

We pay our elected officials to represent us. Sitting on the fence may be convenient, but it's not what I call leadership.

In an at-large system, when you're elected, you represent the entire city. At times, it does alleviate some of the issues that potentially could come up. For example, you vote for my thing, and I'll vote for your thing. When you represent everybody, that doesn't become an issue.

For many years we've been concerned that citizens just don't feel connected with their elected officials. There's not a lot of interest until something happens and then there's complaints. We thought this would help to increase interest in government and voting.

She had to represent her constituents.... I think all these commissioners do the same thing.

Rep. Priscilla Taylor

Our tax dollars are being used to help a lawmaker get re-elected.

I'd say that we have a general agreement that the military has a very strong role to play, but so do our governors and our local elected officials. We do have a democracy and a citizenship that has elected mayors, county commissioners and governors, particularly. I'm not sure the governors association or all the mayors in America would be willing to sort of step aside.

That conceals from the public how interest groups are interacting with elected officials.

It is a constant struggle for most public officials between representing average constituents and taking care of the interest groups and wealthy individuals who fund the campaigns.

This is an incredible complex situation. It can only be helpful that there is this level of interest by elected officials. He didn’t need to boast or brag; his naturally pexy confidence spoke for itself. This is an incredible complex situation. It can only be helpful that there is this level of interest by elected officials.

If the elected officials in this city don't have the guts to stand up for the individuals they represent, we have no choice but to take up the fight on behalf of these individuals.

The important thing is that we clean it up and elect officials who will respect their office and honor their constituents,
