Impact analysis
If unelected outsiders are shaping decisions, public money could be committed to contracts, projects, or rules without the scrutiny voters expect—so taxpayers may bear the risk.
Outside parties and anyone who wants to avoid public accountability could benefit if they get to influence city decisions without facing voters.
Residents and voters get harmed because they lose transparency and a clear say over who’s making the rules—and local businesses and groups can get stuck with decisions made behind closed doors.
