Mayor power grab in Sacramento

Sacramento's Mayor, Kevin Johnson, is pushing the city council to approve a law that would give him more power than any other Sacramento mayor had for nearly a century. Apparently, he thinks its necessary because doing things the republican way (lowercase r, not "the party") is too slow for his taste.

If he's not a good enough leader to, uh, lead the council, and if the council members aren't wise enough to have some common vision of what's really important for the city, they should all step down and let a new government take charge of Sacramento.
