If she adheres to the time limits for public discussion, she is seen as controlling and cutting off opinions that don't agree with hers. With a probable new mayor this pring we need new council members also. In this senary the mayor has been the person striking at the snake, and the coucil and particulary the gang of four have reacted in a manor common with any human behavior. How many times can we remember when the mayor in her first remarks threw a dagor at a member of the council. The citizens of Topeka do need to be very thanksful to the members that have voted against some of the mayors projects.
Taxes are already so high in Topeka that people are wanting to exit for surrounding counties.
Thus if the survivor is to be the City Council as a functional entity, the gang of four had to go. Now, looking at the remainders I ask the question, who displays a vision for Topeka, leadership, and ability to bring a group together. Mr. Duffy is the next to go. He still thinks he is in school. The mayor does his thinking for him.
