    Do you think that all a mayor does is send press releases and give the key to the city to the Powerpuff girls? In NYC especially, local government controls a lot

        You’re not wrong (in my city, the “mayor” is basically another city council member with no extra powers, just the same voting power as the other council members), but I don’t quite get what you’re disagreeing with me on.

          Just pointing out that some people may have mayors that are more symbolic than anything so it’s not unreasonable to assume the mayor of NYC is similar. I’m not disagreeing per se.
