So now I'm a city Councillor/planner/bureaucrat? I'll agree with you that I'm overpaid though.
I wouldn't be speaking for Kerfoot either, he hasn't complained about the process nor would he.
If you want to learn more about how things work, spend some more time reading, there is a large amount of information here and on SSC. Read the city council minutes, attend a few open houses, public forums. You'll gain some insight and will learn to spend less time talking to orange pylons.
