Farner points proudly to his role in the passage of the ordinance that called for for the election of at-large City Council members. Each member had to live in the ward they represented but were elected by all the voters. “I really pushed for all to run at-large…every citizen voted for everyone…made me more responsive as an alderman and ‘care about [what goes on in all wards’.]“ [00:35:19]
