I've never gotten the sense from Ken that he's in this due to a desire to perform public service - he's barely knows his policies and barely knows how bylaws and processes work (his 3x3x3 plan for permits is laughable).
I hope I'm wrong and/or that his councillors (many of whom have experience and some of whom have good ideas) are strong enough that they do the heavy lifting as I fear we get a George W. Bush type of mayor.

I predict this council will expect a lot from city staff (e.g. briefing notes, action plan, meetings) which may lead to a mass exodus of city management and cause even more delays in the approving developments.
