- I think there are a few things driving this.

There seems to be a perception on the part of the people who used to be Janey's colleagues that she has basically cut them off since becoming acting mayor, that she is not engaging with them as political partners, as she had promised to do before she became City Council President.

Then you throw in the fact that you've got, I'm gonna have to use my fingers here to count, multiple counselors running for mayor.

Tell me if I'm missing anyone.

Michelle Wu, Andrea Campbell and Nissa Sabi George.

Am I leaving anyone out?

So you add all those things up.

You throw in the fact that Janey waited until the last minute to sign this proposal to change the way the city shapes its budget, in a way that will empower the council at the expense of the mayor, and I think people were just frustrated and wanted to remind her you're the acting mayor.

You haven't been elected mayor by the city as a whole.

We're still one of us.

We made you acting mayor, essentially.

And we wanna be able to work with you, as opposed to having you ignore us.
