Which of the following comes closest to your view of the most important function of a councillor?
Context:
A city councillor must balance interests that can be at odds. Beyond public interests, a councillor's relationship with administration is also central to their work. Council oversees administration through the two employees it can hire and fire — the City Manager and the City Auditor. Residents with frustrations with administration often take these concerns to councillors. How willing those councillors are to hold administration accountable can affect their relationship with their constituents.
