There was a major transfer of power in the city over the past 10 years with Francis doing an incredibly impressive job of political maneuvering to realign the power structure in the city. Despite him no longer being in office, he has organized his regime to continue to working on his policy work, with Drew Dilkens at the helm. The structure that was set up is remarkably similar to Thomas Jefferson's Virginia Plan which he designed to ensure that his fellow (hand-picked) Virginians maintained federal control. Many people were very impressed with Eddies ability to prevent tax increases during his time in office and there have been many arguments over the transfer of city debt through EnWin. Again, he was very impressive with his political savvy and accounting finesse.
On the surface, there seems to be very little local news reporting (by that I mean city hall muckrakers) in Windsor because we have only the one daily which has well-known allegiances to powerful people within the city.
Despite the relative lack of investigative reporters, the next few years are going to be very interesting as the internal struggle between factions in city council will become more evident than before.
