True.. *minor* stuff, though, compared to, say, rezoning the entire town as landfill, or bulldozing senior centers to give his buddies a place to park their cars.
We’ve had our share of idiot mayors in this town, some of whom have pulled some rather epic legislation. My personal favorite was the one who got the anti-loitering laws pulled, resulting in a dramatic upspike in homeless people pretty much setting up outdoor living rooms in public areas. This was combatted a few years later by a public drinking ordinance. Very unpopular with the colelge crowd, of course, until they found otu it was only going to be enforced on a per-complaint basis.
