'This is the city I love ... I'm running for mayor' - Duggan Officially In

There would be concerns about the city council working with him. Has he addressed that? Have any of them voiced opinions on him as Mayor?

And of course the other issue is the EM appointment probably coming soon... does this mean whoever is Mayor doesnt really matter? Or would the EM do the dirty work in shorter than four years and then hand the Mayor a cleaner slate to work with?

I'm not aware that any current council members have said anything about who they're supporting for Mayor.

But Duggan has addressed the issue of working with City Council. The story he tells is about how it took Council's approval to approve the sale of the DMC to Vanguard Health. He talks about spending a lot of time listening to council members, meeting with them, and winning their support. In the end, the sale passed council 8-1 [[guess who voted no). He even talks about going to Joann Watson and trying to get her to change her vote to yes, to make it unanimous, even though he didn't need it.
