The City Finance Director doesn't broker political deals... he's a City
employee, and primarily responsible for providing financial advice and
recommendations to the Mayor, the City Council and other Department heads.
Decisions for or against using city subsidies for a sports stadium, a Target
on the Mall, or a BlockE project rest with the Mayor and the City Council,
and in-the-end with city voters. If our elected Council members or Mayor
request his opinion on financing alternatives for such projects... that's his
job!
