No, not a clown. Just a grandstanding, self-important blowhard whose every action betrays a calculated drive for higher office.
I've gotten to the point with all media --that includes major papers and TV. I don't get my news from there anymore. These "reporters" take the government line and crap it directly onto paper and I'm just sick-to-death of it. Such flawed, often contemptuous reporting.
One thing you got to hand to Lastman is that he's a clown, he knows it and at least he doesn't take himself too seriously. Half of city council is equally clownish but they take themselves seriously and hence just come off as dicks (stand up Mr. Vaughn, Mr. Moscoe, Mr. Ford etc.).
What I don't get is how the hell has the city's budget grown by $1.5 billion in four years? What exactly are we getting for that amount?

I'd like to know too. I suspect it's the designs for the waterfront
Better paid and more numerous city employees. Now doesn't that make you feel better?What I don't get is how the hell has the city's budget grown by $1.5 billion in four years? What exactly are we getting for that amount?
I think you have it wrong, that's higher wages for less work.higher wages for the unionized workers doing the same work as before.
