The city would be better if all decisions were left to a shake of a Magic 8 Ball.

Strong Mayor is as bad an idea as moving to the 10-1 Council.

Play stupid games....win stupid prizes. I hope it fails at the polls, but nothing else has worked out that way lately, so my hope and your change won't buy us anything!
