Unfortunately, I don't see this kind of leadership or consensus-building in how Gondek behaves thus far (or some of the other councilors). I know, this is still a relatively green council and first-year mayor, but she's been on council previously, so at some point that excuse doesn't really hold any weight. I voted for Gondek, and right now it's a really hard sell for me to vote for her again if we get another 3.5 years of this.

At the current pace my "Anyone but Farkas" vote is quickly becoming an "anyone buy Gondek" vote next time around.
