If Big Red actually had an interest in completing her duties as an Alderman, she would have turned the community's fight against the development into a plight to ensure the development impact fees were sufficient enough to fund the necessary infrastructure improvements.

In typical Big Red fashion she goes for style over substance, grandstanding to the media "NO BIG DEVELOPER! WE WILL NOT TAKE THIS LAYING DOWN!" instead of actually working towards a resolution.
Here entire "battle" here seemed to be "we're gonna save the green space!" instead of as you said, focusing on the actual impact it would have on the community.
I know she's not unique in this, but even for a politician she manages to be speaking all the time without actually saying a single thing.
