City employees, like any employee, including myself, don't like everything about their jobs, but they sure as heck like them better than the way someone else is going to change them. And politicians are human. Change means pain for them, too. They make phone calls. Reformist zeal withers in the face of obstinacy and inertia.
People say yes, but their actions say no.
City Council candidates are never about the status quo. They want to be the captains who steer a new course. But big ships change course very slowly. All rights reserved.
