Notable Quotes (3)
I think there's a difference between being qualified to be able to run and qualified to actually serve in that capacity.
Each department is briefing so as to understand how the sausage is made in doing City business without getting down into all of the ingredients.
If you have a lot of opportunities to apply for the Planning Commission... Planning Commission is probably the best place because that's the part that deals with the most complex issues.
