Yes, but some members of the council (mainly Stothert) have to grand stand for their ultra-conservative constituents first (and likewise, their future mayoral runs).

It's kinda funny though. The police union is literally getting raped in this contract despite the fact that they have all the leverage, yet Stothert doesn't think it's good enough. I'm going to laugh my ass off if they vote down this contract and then have to explain why the taxpayers are paying more for the raises that the CIR gives them (plus continued spiking) when they could have taken a contract that had 2 years of pay freezes and ended spiking all among other concessions.
