He dozes off and does not ask general questions. I have heard many people say they do not want such council members.
Shame on you, shame on you! I also hear people say, "Shame on you! Please think of it as a shame. This is not the way a council should be."
The city council meeting on October 10 was packed with many observers. The main attraction was the mayor's proposal to reduce the number of council members by half.
On March 24, Akitakada Mayor Ishimaru announced his intention to submit an ordinance amendment proposal to halve the number of city council members to 8, from the current 16. He claims that this is in response to the council's decision to reduce the number of deputy mayors from 2 to 1, citing financial difficulties as the reason.
In response to this, the assembly -.
Mr. Kunio Shishido, Chairperson of the Akitakada City Council
The council members are a little surprised that the number of deputy mayors has been reduced from 2 to 1 and that the council's 16 council seats have been cut in half.

I don't think that the number of council members itself will fix the dysfunction of the council.
Today's council meeting was held.
The result was a rejection of the proposal with 1 in favor and 14 opposed.
