Less of a Mayor problem and more of a bureaucracy sucks problem.

You have people @ city hall who make decisions on behalf of the Mayor that he doesn't even agree with. He can't be in 1000 places at once, and he definitely can't do much policy work when he's constantly being asked to speak at a different event every single day because some type of commemoration or tradition is taking place.

Yeah, Bureaucratic stuff is always a problem. That being said, I know many who work in city hall and with city hall and for other reasons...its not a great administration as far as the inner workings and day to day functions of government, also who holds positions in city hall and the city and their connections to the Mayor....And there are shady things that go on...not saying it's unique to Ras, but it is what it is.
