A couple of themes running through yesterday's interview of Mayor Reeves by Michael Graham merit comment:
1. Reeves mentioned(without challenge by Graham) that the people of Cambridge elected him, implying that he had a mandate for his shenanigans. Not true. Hizzoner was elected by his fellow City Clowncillors. Which brings me to my second point: Cambridge's nutty city government.
2. Reeves, several callers, the jejeune Cambridge Chronicle reporter - all fatuously repeated the nostrum that Cantabridgians are "oh-so, so-bright." Well, if they are so smart, why do they have such a looney municipal setup. Imagine this: nine City Councillors all elected at large - thus representing everybody and nobody. Next, these Clowncillors huddle together and annoint one of their own as mayor. To cap it all off, the Clowncillors and the fake mayor shunt off the responsibility of running our lives to a City Manager. So we end up being ruled by unacccountable bureaucrats while our useless ceremonial Mayor merrily prances around the country with his city credit card and the equally useless City Clowncillors are left to do what they do best: lunatic lefty grandstanding.
