WPCNR MR. & MRS. & MS. WHITE PLAINS POLL. February 10, 2008: WPCNR would like to know our readers feelings on whether the Common Council would be more responsive, (and possibly, more effective, harder-working, more responsive), if  each councilperson represented a specific section of town. Presently all but one councilperson represent the southend of town. The issue has been raised by Battle Hill Civic Association and the downtown association that the council often is not responsive to their concerns.

What do Mr. and Mrs. and Ms. White Plains think about the concept of electing councilpersons by geographic sections of the city -- a district system -- or continuing with the present "at large" arrangement where six councilpersons can, as five of them do now all live within a few blocks of each other in the southend of town.
