Could it be? Do we FINALLY have leadership that gets the job situation around here?

Duggan has the opposite, and it's an advantage. Let's band together to make it so that the EM is gone, and the best way to do that is to get results. Oh, and by the way, he has final authority, so let's save the obstructionism for another day and another time, everyone.

I don't agree with people giving Bing a pass. The guy did nothing to improve the budget, services, etc. He gets a pass from people locally but he didn't do squat. Impediments or not, much of the city declined under his watch.

It also doesn't help that he retained much of KKs staff.

It's another myth in the making around these parts. Big bad city council hamstrung poor old Dave Bing.

The man was shit in hands incompetent.

Let's not sugarcoat just how HORRIBLE he was.
