That's cute that you thought a government cares enough about the tax payers to represent the tax payers.

I think small local government is quite a different beast than federal government. We mostly lived within the community that funded us and we’re impacted personally by tax decisions. It’s more connected than an abstract “public” footing the bill vs your neighbour Jane that you’re gonna hear about it from when this tax increase goes through.
