Yes we elect him but he has charisma and he was running on an different campaign position before getting elected and decided to be more conservative once he got in office. He has no respect for the residents of this city. He straight up doesn't care as long as people lobby him and give him money he will vote to help his "friends" even if it ends up hurting the residents.
The guy that was at the desk yelling is the mayor and the other four at the table were the council members. We call the three in the middle the three stooges because whatever Nick decides he gets the other two to vote and pass through things while the other two members usually vote against things.

wow that seems like a pretty interesting day. I love marches. I miss my city for that :(
Today was all right. I slept in impossibly late, and spent a lot of time reading, then had delicious pasta with my mom. Then I kicked back and wrote a lot, also got some feedback on a poem/prose piece I wrote last night. The teachers are on strike which I support 100%, and we go back on Friday (then it's the weekend again!) It's 3:49 here and I'm not tired.. though I wish I were. I'm just building some writing pieces to chose from for a reading night we're having in June, then it's exams, grad, then my aunt's wedding, then moving and finally, figuring out university. I can't wait for the week after grad: 100% non-allocated, free time. Awww yeeeah.

Yeah it was interesting. I was even approached by one of the city council members and she wants to take me under her wing and train me to be a council member so in the next election I may run for that position. I would do it this year but I don't have time to really push my campaign.
When you said moving did you mean within your city or a different area all together?
