Councillors receive reports on what they madeBy Bill Rea People elected to municipal councils know their jobs are filled with positive and negative aspects. They get to attend a lot of functions, sometimes as honoured guests. But there are also a lot of demands on their time, as well as criticism from some in the public, not to mention the media.
