I doubt that. My dad got elected to a town council and was pretty disappointed about what the system let him accomplish.

Can you explain more?

One really good example is the stroad that’s preventing good bike infrastructure. The roads that are managed by the township have bike lanes - even if they’re not separated - but the stroad is a state route, so we have no bike lanes on the main connection between these lanes, and limited pedestrian infrastructure.

This is why we have kids getting bussed to the school that’s across the road from their house.

So how is that situation an argument against people running for office? Like jobs are meant to be challenging and work, it’s not like being elected then grants you a magic wand to seamlessly solve issues.
