Actually, the Council is now trying to put together a plan that calls for any Council member away from his/her seat for 6 months will have to move to last place, irregardless of their election tally. Clearly aimed at Cockrel

That proposal won't get far. It violates section 4-103 of the City Charter.

Now, if they want to really do something, they should try to come up with rules that would prevent Council Members from constantly missing work.
