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.

Apologies in advance if this comes off sounding snarky, but what exactly were some policies that were successfully implemented by McIver during his tenure as an alderman? Admittedly I didn't follow his entire career, but my impression of him isn't that he was a leader on council who got things done but rather an ineffective grandstander who opposed pretty much everything.
