RICHARDSON (CBSDFW.COM) - Since the city of Richardson's inception in the 1950's, the seven city council members have selected one of their own to become mayor.
Now that the city has grown to 100,000 people, resident Jim Mallett thinks that should change -- and the mayor should be elected.
Mallett says, "this is a democracy. We need to have elected officials that are responsible to the citizenry, not to six other council people."
