A fair denouement for Dave Bing?

Now you wont read that in the dailies. IMHO, Bing is as much, if not more responsible for the city's demise over the last 3 1/2 years. It's more fun to mock council, and often they deserve it. But he is, for gosh sake, the MAYOR. The vacuum of his leadership is why we notice council's actions. The mayor is given the majority of power, yet he squanders it with no leadership. Since he didn't move into the city until he was elected, I was always somewhat dubious of his commitment. After he's out of office come 2014 -- and I'm sure he will be -- I wonder how long it will take him to move the furniture back to Franklin?

Kinda like Duggan.
