It feels like it's going to strip away a lot of the citizen oversight that we've fought hard to establish, and that's not something we should take lightly. These commissions are there for a reason, to ensure that the voices of the residents are heard and that there's a check on the power of the city's administration. Reducing their number and power just seems like a move that could lead to less transparency and accountability in government decisions. It's important to find a balance between efficiency and democracy, but this feels like it's tipping too far in one direction. We need to be really careful about supporting measures that could diminish our ability to influence city policies and actions.
