And if council members are writing legislation with little research, as Richard Layman says, it becomes even worse that so many changes to bills occur hours or minutes before they're voted on, with no opportunity for the public to even see what the text is, much less review it and provide comments. In addition, these changes and the votes on them (when there are votes) aren't tracked anywhere (unlike Congress), so there's no way to hold the council members responsible accountable for them. It's no wonder so much flawed legislation gets passed.
