I hope Becker's earlier reminder doesn't get lost: The City Finance Director
serves the will of the Mayor AND the Council. If a resident doesn't want
publicly funded stadia ( I don't), one should worry more about the political
bent of their CM's and the mayor than about this aspect of the finance
director's experience. The finance director's role is to provide excellent
financial management and advice to the City, not to cook up grandiose
initiatives to force down the unwilling throats of city leaders and
residents. The finance director manages and advises.
