That's a nice civics lesson. Clearly you know little about how the city - or its personalities - actually work.

I know a lot more than you think. Did you know that Norfolk is the only city in Tidewater that has an automatic water rate increase each year? The other cities require City Council approve for a rate increase. Or that Norfolk pulls money from the Water Fund (which is an Enterprise Fund) to pay for other services? Do you know what an Enterprise fund is?
