As you may or may not know, Bend's mayor is not elected by voters, but rather appointed by his or her fellow city councilors. We'll be exploring the question of how we elect the Mayor in the upcoming issue, but in the meantime, we want to know: What do you think? Are you content with the current system, or would you like to have some say?

Take the poll below and give us your reasoning in the comments.

And while we're at it, if you could vote, who would you vote for?
