Apparently replacing 'councilperson' "with something less redundant" is harder than any of us thought. Are there any "City Council Members" who are not members? If so, that's the job I want!<br><br>--<br>Joe Campbell<br><br>------------------------------<br><br>Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2007 18:52:59 -0700 (PDT)<br>From: Donovan Arnold <donovanjarnold2005@yahoo.com><br>Subject: [Vision2020] Councilperson<br><br>"Councilperson" I am curious why someone would tac "person" on the end of a title. Are there members of the council that are not persons? Why not "City Council Member"? We don't say fireperson or policeperson. Placing person on the end of a title just sounds like an ugly attack on the English language.<br> <br> Best,<br> <br> Donovan<br><br>=======================================================<br> List services made available by First Step Internet, <br> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994. <br> http://www.fsr.net
