No, Rand, I’m not a fan of end-runs by fiat or excutive orders, either - I want to see the system work as intended. And it keeps the rabble from stirring the pot without the input of the people. But that governmental armpit of a city has become such a Charlie Foxtrot of Gordian Knot proportions, sometimes it takes a good, singularly administered kick in the ass to get the plumbing flowing again. Kinda like kicking your network printer to clear the paper jam.
