Its totally over sensationalized typical Corbella piece. However, there are nuggets of truth.

As a leader Gondek should have called the emergency session. Or at least called on her peers to attend. No one should debate that. It would have shown a resolve even if no one showed or there was deadlock. Her flat refusal to a constructive idea was a mistake.

Her twitter rant gave optics of someone with their back up ready to pounce. For someone in her position, just new to the job, its also a leadership fail.

The rest is usual Corbella sensationalism and can be ignored.

I said it before, maybe this deal was the wrong one, but maybe it was the right one. Regardless Gondek should have shown her leadership and balance much better at the end of December. Instead she threw political rocks, and she is finding herself in a glass house. Fairly or unfairly she created the pressure on herself to fix this when some simple calm steps would have really helped.

I never imagined to see her legacy in the balance basically 2 months into the job, but if she can help pull off something better all power to her. Bottom line, seems like a lesson that its easier to be a partisan than a builder.
