Abstract
Professor Dutton compares San Francisco area data with data of his own on Buffalo area local legislators' political ambitions, on the assumption that desire to remain in elective politics constitutes a significant element in securing accountability (response) to the voting public. Statistical analysis of interview responses reveals that most councilmen do, in fact, want to continue in office, and Dutton spells out a number of distinctions among legislators that may be expected to affect their hopes for reelection or advancement.
