Favored keeping four commissioners and warned that more members means longer meetings and more preparation, not less work — and asked that this logic be presented honestly on the ballot.

Asked whether wards equal the number of non-mayoral commissioners and later argued four wards gives better representation than six.

Argued four commissioners will better represent a larger group of people than six, given the commitment required.

Said increasing the number of commissioners increases workload; priority should be adequately compensating the mayor and commissioners, who are grossly underpaid.
