His constituents are not happy with him:

They are really getting the most out of their tax dollars!

It can be said that for every session that a council member misses, the constituents are truly getting their money's worth from that member.
Who would even notice if they all resigned in a snit?
Call John Liu's district office and you're told he's in the Manhattan office. Call his Manhattan office and you're told he's in a meeting. Apparantly NOT. Where is he? Is he still holding a job at Price Waterhouse?
He can miss his required meetings but he wouldn't miss a photo-op. Shame on you Johnny Liu!
and a big Congrats to Melinda Katz and Tony Avella on their Perfect attendance.
You forgot to mention that CM Gallagher has a fairly decent 94% attendance rate.

Gallagher has a 94% attendance rate and has only signed on to 49 bills? What the hell does he do all day? What happened to his "not parking at the corner" bill?
Gallagher has been absent for some of the most important votes. So percentage attendance means nothing.
don't complain about dennis gallagher's 94% attendance record. we should all take up a collection to pay him to stay home. the council is much better off without him.

So, you don't agree with the original post about Sanders either, right?
I don't agree with the original post. I remember Quinn saying last summer that she was going to require that councilmembers provide a sick note or present a good reason for their absence. Perhaps Sanders had family issues this past year. If his constituents are unhappy with his performance, that's more indicative of his effectiveness. Same goes for Gallagher or anyone else. Katz had perfect attendance and a good portion of her constituents seem to hate her.
It is very hard to do your job effectively when you don't show up. If you do show up and only pass 49 bills in 6 years and brag about it, then perhaps you should apply some ice to your swollen head.
Until the City Charter is changed to require that being a City Council member is a full time job, nothing's going to change.
I'd like to have a full paying part time job where I can run another business on the side!
Doesn't John Liu have another house somewhere out of the city?
Doesn't he get 2 paychecks?
Or are they both mortgaged to the hilt to pay for his crooked father's legal defense re: Great Eastern Bank fraud case?
Hello Joseph Liu! How r ya doin" ?
Another story:
Yoo-hoo? Anyone seen our Council members?
Better late than never!
