Opponents of a proposal to change Danville’s form of government are attempting to educate the public about the current mayor-aldermanic form. Those who support changing to a city manager form note the city would still have 14 aldermen.

And Ward 7 Alderman Lloyd Randle notes that since Danville changed to the current mayor-aldermanic form of government in 1987, it has allowed more diversity on the city council…

Brown and Randle were on WDAN Radio’s Newsmaker’s program and you can hear the entire program under the podcast section of VermilionCountyFirst.com. Proponents of the change were featured on an earlier program and newscasts.
