John B. Taylor: “Excessive Federal spending is our disease.”

I just do what I believe. And I believe that strong-mayor powers, aside from everything else, are a significantly bad idea.

The powers are 'almost like a virus in the body politic of municipal democracy,'

The whole idea of bailouts is that people get advantage and that it creates huge risk-taking and huge moral hazard.

This notion is absurd. We cannot simply wish our problems away.
