reality bites

Apparently the merger of the Ecology Board and the Parks and Parkways Board did not go very well, for anybody. In theory, if a citizen has a complaint, they should be able to go up the chain of command until they are heard and the problem addressed. In actuality, the Mayor and Council have not directed the City Manager to do ANYTHING for years, that the City Manager hasnt already approved. They basically await his direction and respond to his agenda. He facilitates their agendas and they respond in kind. You scratch my back and I will scratch yours politics. Shameless self-promotion all around.
