Congress has said that upon attaining four years of balanced budgets the Control Board will go dormant. That is the obvious roadmap. That is the attitude I will take to the Council. I intend to be honest about budgeting. Many service-related problems are due to underfunding, and the Control Board became omnipotent because the Council was resorting to budget gimmicks that did not represent real revenues nor resolve overspending.
Oversight is critical.
See my answer to the next question. Voting reasonably means voting against unqualified appointments. I testified against David Watts' confirmation. I wrote to other ANCs and the Council opposing Children's Island. There are other things to be done, as well.
