Yup. When the team all works together (even if they do it grudgingly) that's the norm.
This is a one party city but they don't act like one team. The mayor just vetoed a zoning bill he was expected to support. Now City Council president has decided on the wisdom of special elections to fill vacant seats (making it easier to hit the minumum votes needed for override). Always some drama here, most of that energy does as much as a hamster spinning the wheel.
