And my issue isn't that he doesn't have an impressive resume, he does. My concern is with the practical experience, how he will deal with the bureaucracy and red tape that McIver has dealt with for 20 years.
There is a big difference between being able to talk about theories and strategies, and being able to implement them effectively, while maintaining positive relationships with the various bureaucrats in the city. McIver may not have been flashy, but he sure had working knowledge of how this city functions.
