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.
