"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones." Machiavelli
Council Debating TicketsBy DIA, Section News
For the blow by blow, go to ACO.
Here is my favorite exchange of the night, from the TU. At one point, Rosenzweig objected to a phrase that called the city's failure to buy a new computer system for writing tickets when it knew for years that its old one was about to become obsolete the "worst example of government bureaucracy and inefficiency."Well said. Point, Ellis. And for anyone who has ever dealt with the city on an issue that required one department to know what the other was doing, I'm sure you will agree one of the biggest inefficiencies in this city is that no one talks to each other. One department has no idea what the other is doing. And often, no idea what they are doing either.
