Sunil, you missed the boat again.
The United States is governed by a representative form of government (to
be precise, a constitutional republic), not a democracy.
The counsel members represented their constituency -- not themselves and
not their own "standards."
You can ask them if you like -- but the *overwhelming* sentiment that
they received was for public modesty and upholding the ordinance.
Funny how a very vocal minority can make it appear completely opposite.
