Reply to comment by TitsMageesVacation in Zeke Cohen officially declares run for City Council President by gothaggis

I mean, there's only so much you can do as a legislator. That is, pass laws and form committees to hold people accountable on the public record. The executive branch is where the regulatory practices are conducted, and laws are enforced. If you want to be angry at something, be angry at the bureaucratic processes from that side, not something that was never set up to "act" in the first place.

The legislative branch can be more active and has more tools at its disposal than that.

It sure can be, with a council president that doesn't neuter it deliberately to undermine reform efforts and consolidate power.
