20. Maybe he doesn't feel overwhelmed because
he doesn't have a whole lot of power to do anything. Usually, mayors are just figureheads who supposedly persuade people and agencies to do their bidding, but they have no power to really order things. I think though that he didn't do his job previously if he didn't try to influence both state and federal legislators into doing the best he could for NO. There was no planning really and even if there was and he didn't persuade the agencies and politicians to get him what he needed, I don't think he did his job.
