There is that, even if it is highly inefficient...
Something that was pointed out on the radio this morning - 19 of the 26 wards had incumbents who ran for re-election; they all got back in. The new mayor ran on a platform of getting rid of the "tax and spend" habits of the previous administration. The mayor has one vote on the budget, just like each councillor... I forsee a lot of name-calling coming from City Hall over the next four years.
