I think I might have passed the point of no return on cynicism.

That is a bit cynical. But look at the past two mayors - they couldn't have been much different. Duerr was a don't rock the boat timid sort of consensus builder that didn't seem to get a lot done. Bronconnier was a builder, with a much more aggressive leadership style.
The thing is the muncipal government is that which is closest to the people. It probably effects your day-to-day life the most of all the levels of government. I think it's worth paying attention.
