Yes, that is my hope. Slightly tangent, but in a similar vein: The CE of a local municipality gets cash-money 10X what a gum-shoe bureaucrat gets. And what do they really do? Most spend, spend on career-making 'monuments'. Publicly visible projects that soak up endless $$$. Of course subsequent councils then have to raise the rates to pay off the debt. Disgusting.

I don't think councils work, or should be structured like, corporations, TBH. More often than not, the bureaucrat should be an umbrella AGAINST over-legislation, with empathy for the littlest rate-payer. And they don't need a board of directors telling them how to do that job, nor will it help to outsource those 'boring', little joblets to 'professionals' (exec idea). BEcause guess what? Those private sector peeps charge double the rate, for an over-inflated, gold-plated, but sloppy, job.
