That the majority seems to be men doesn’t speak so well about the males on council. But the habit is born of a compulsion to boss around that dwindling collection of lackeys who are still willing to do their bidding.
There are now no women on the executive committee. The headline doesn’t seem to match the contents of the actual article. Was “diversity at city hall” ever a strength of our city council?
