[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with others that blame on Bass is misplaced. Sometimes bad things happen and that’s that. A NYT article I read today said the accusation that she cut the fire dept budget was misleading. And yes, she was in Ghana, so what?

Agree too that the only connection to Bowser I see is race and gender.[/quote]

The Ghana trip is clearly a junket and not something a mayor should be doing at any point. It shows that being mayor isn't really her focus and her ambition is elsewhere. Much like Bowser, who seems to be phoning it in until a better opportunity presents itself. [/quote]

Stop the presses! This guy figured out how the fires could have been prevented. It all wouldn't have happened if the mayor hadn't been on her trip to Ghana! Going forward, no more mayoral trips = no more wildfires!!! Genius![/quote]

Congratulations, you were presented a symptom and assumed it was a cause. Are you trying to get a job in either Bass or Bowser administrations?

Mayors go on these junkets because they have either grown bored of their duties or never cared for them in the first place. They try to curry favor with bigger fish, and direct their attention that way. That's what the Ghana trip was about, as was sending fire fighting equipment to Ukraine. That leads them to taking their eyes off the ball back home. Sometimes that leads to disastrous consequences, sometimes just to a general sense of decay.

Another thing the two have in common is that there probably aren't many residents who would say their city is moving in the right direction under their leadership. Even if they can handily win elections.
