There's no question that Sabonjian was the best choice for Mayor. However that doesn't mean he's the best man for the job.
Lately his antics at City Hall have been questionable and his dealings with the Council have been uninspiring.
If it is clear that he is not willing to do what it takes to rid the City of those who have proven to be the lap dogs of the powers that be in the past, then alas we shall probably be resigned to more of the same as we just got rid of.
It is purely naive to believe that Vukovich and other City officials who were virtually pulled around by the nose by Terry Link and Pete Couvall will all of a sudden shed their past affiliations in favor of a new administration. Not to mention the complete lack of performance that has left our City in complete shambles - and then we hand these same people the keys again.
I suspect that since people like Ray Vukovich have zero possibility of getting a similar job or similar salary outside of their current positions, they are probably doing every tap dance in the book to impress the new Mayor. Too bad Sabonjian cannot see the long long road that lead to the stage they now perform on.
So much for "It's a new world now" as were Mayor Sabonjian's first words sitting in his chair the night of his inauguration. Bold words with no back up apparently.
