Not Necessarily the Best or the Brightest—but Definitely the Richest.
The two biggest reforms not mentioned in the article are voter owned/publicly-funded elections and instant runoff voting.
Put ALL of the candidates into a single pot and let the voters pick the best four or five (or whatever number) every two years. There's no reason why candidates should have to square off against each other if they aren't representing district boundaries.
If the offices are city-wide, we should pick the best candidates regardless of who they are running against.
Paging Darwin Awards!
