Use rankchoice voting and rank both finalists, which if you are trying to make a choice on who the winner should be . It doesnt really make sense to be running them off against each other and indicates uncertainty about the situation. Having a primary for the mayor also would make candidates forums much easier. When you have just wave and waves of a dozen of candidates, its hard to have a forum and its difficult to support Public Financing because you have a smaller field.

[gavel] we are back from recess. Seeing other names on the roster a chance to review the amendment i just want to say a couple things. I think the whole point forward trying to publish youras you get this language out of the charter and in the hands of the board. I think this is adding another layer that are not comfortable adding. I think we could accomplish what were trying to accomplish by doing it separately from this Charter Amendment and separately from this process. Im definitely committed to that and looking at grandfathering, and looking at feasibility and the kinds of things that are important to make sure that we put the appropriate number forward looking for. With that, colleagues, unfortunately im not comfortable supporting the change in this capacity but i am comfortable with alternative legislation that is language of the statement included in it in the future.
