[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this point, I do not see why Grey would want to implement controlled choice/city-wide lottery.

He won't be able to use it as a propaganda theme for the race, nor he needs it to give back to his Wards , which have just mildly supported him (lower numbers that he expected showed up at the primary polls).

See, my concern is the opposite -- he has nothing to lose (e.g. he doesn't face re-election), so there is no barrier to him supporting and implementing controlled choice/city-wide lottery.  It may be controversial, but it could benefit to the people to which he has ties (either due to the fact that they are the people in his neighborhood, the people who supported him, etc.) and to which he may feel loyal and/or a debt of gratitude.  So in that scenario, why NOT implement it?  What does he care if all the people who voted against him in the primary don't like it?

If Gray were to officially "adopt" the program before he leaves, then I worry that it is a done deal if Bowser is elected.  I suspect she would be inclined to just go with the flow, versus Catania, who I feel would be much more inclined to come in and say "nope nope nope."[/quote]
