I guess I will never understand why every now and then a city councillor canât get a seconder for a motion he or she proposes. It just seems to me if something is that important to a councillor, it should be common courtesy that it is brought up for even a brief debate. This would at least allow the councillor to put his or her thoughts on record and in public view. If councillors do not want to participate in a debate, they can remain silent and express their opposition when it comes to a vote. The vote, of course, could come quickly if they refrain from entering a discussion rather than rambling on about nothing, as some are wont to do.
