Some Change Must Come City Government Proposal in Cicero
The piece argues for adopting a city form in Cicero for a population between 25 000 and 50 000, proposing fourteen aldermen elected at large, seven for one year and seven for two years, with future ward apportionment by the first board. It outlines elected officers, local elections, and aims for broader district representation while noting cost reductions and the need for public education. The author cites past failure and claims a new, more capable citizen base now backs the movement.
