I am aware of the ever-present clamoring over Lee by the two pro-SEC commissioners and enjoy watching it. What we don't want or need is powerless commissioners in their ability to manage our departments.

Politicians do that to take their responsibility out of their responsibility and the work out of their work. The perfect example in the national level is the formation of the IRS/OSHA or any other bureaucracy that has been stocked with affirmative action employees who have control over our business and personal lives. The net result is government out of control because our only ability to control them is with a vote that simply won't reach to the point of the problem.

We need city commissioners who can and are willing to put their boot to the necks of any city employee when it is necessary but they seem to want to exempt themselves from that authority.
