Proponents say: The proposed requirement prevents members from avoiding difficult or unpopular decisions. They will be held accountable for decisions of the board as a whole, increasing transparency and public trust.
Opponents say: A member may be compelled to vote on an issue that is not legally objectionable but is one about which they feel uninformed, or it goes against their conscience.
