Council Member Restler disagrees with COIB's assessment that people do not care about being designated as policy makers.
- He says people actively try to avoid the policy maker designation
- The designation prevents fundraising, being on host committees, and other political activities
- Restler cites wild discrepancies across agencies on who is considered a policy maker
- He believes the proposed rules do not go far enough in accurately reflecting senior policy makers consistently
