Back to Mr. Penalosa's campaign planks.
His latest is 'Mondays with the Mayor'.......
In which he proposes, if elected, to travel to a different ward each Monday evening and hold a town hall and Q&A from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.
He also proposes to bring a senior manager/representative from every City division with him, in tow to listen to people's concerns.
***
On a certain level this is performative and populist...........but I actually do see appeal in dragging senior staff out to listen to real people highlighting what needs to be done in their area and what does not.
That could be a vehicle for enhanced accountability. I wouldn't overstate the value; but neither would I dismiss it.
