The council should vote the speaker out of office. Her leadership has brought shame to the entire city council and its members. It is especially poor judgement and poor taste to lay blame on her staff, when she is the chief. This reflects very badly on someone who holds a leadership position. If she can't manage her own staff, how can she be speaker? The money of the people is being used like her private stash to win support and keep her members in line. She's definitely using it as ante for her mayoral bid. At our expense! The public is outraged. We demand for her resignation. I agree totally with what John Liu said.
