Council Size

We have 15 councillors in Prince Edward County. 15. Plus the Mayor. That’s for a population of about 25,000. For a minute forget about the budget implications, and imagine what it’s like trying to get them all to agree on anything? In 2010 80% of returned ballots agreed that Council size was an issue. What have we done about it since then?
