[edit] History in the United States section

The section concerning the system's history in America is inconsistent. From the text, it appears that a Virginia city enacted the system first, while an (ostensibly major) Ohio city implemented it fist, and a South Carolina city implemented it successfully first. This is unclear, and the competing claims imply that at least one is incorrect. Since I have no expertise in this area, I leave it to students of American city political history to correct this section. Savantpol 00:45, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Sadly, I am unclear on how to create a footnote, but to back up the statement about Sumpter, I have found this elsewhere http://citymayors.com/government/council_managers.html. I'm not the OP, but I dug it up while working on a paper.supersoulty (talk) 05:35, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
