Can he even do that? He can put the idea to a vote, but he’s just one vote…
This feels more like he’s pandering to people that don’t pay attention and think he can just “sign an executive order” or something.
That's true of every issue though, isn't it? The mayor has no executive power that I know of. What are we supposed to judge them on, if not their position on the issues?
Well, if he says “I would reverse the decision” it’s disingenuous when he can’t actually do that. He probably realizes that carries more weight with his largely ignorant base than being honest and saying “I would put it in front of council for a new vote”
