Less Council Seats Would Make New Faces Hard To Come By

New blood will be hard to come by at the horseshoe if the city decides to eliminate four council positions- that from Councillor Mel Norton.

He tells CHSJ News he knows from first-hand experience how hard it can be to get into city politics and it would be a rookie to join the ranks if less seats were available.

He says based on feedback he's been getting from Facebook and Twitter, people are not in favour of the reduction as it would stretch the remaining councillors too thin.  He says he is also having second thoughts on supporting such a move.
