Left–right lean

Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).

Background

According to the Allegheny County Elections Division's explanation, Braddock Borough Council members currently receive payment regardless of their attendance.

The explanation says the change would require members to attend the 12 regularly scheduled monthly council meetings to receive a monthly payment for their service.

It says the ordinance allows some absences to be excused but does not specify what counts as a valid excuse.
