Most CPers would disagree, which is fine. In my book having some sense of fiscal restraint plus not feeling the need to grandstand or build a legacy is pretty solid. I like her.

I don't have any issue with the fiscal restraint part of it. I do think that when someone has been an Alderman for this long though (and through some not so lean years) there ought to be more of a reason to consider them as mayor though. Saying "I can balance a cheque book" isn't really that impressive is it?
