I think Howser could both deal with the Council AND rally the support of the 
people.  The great thing would be that he would get people to be interested in 
and care about government through his own charisma, and by reforming it so 
that people feel he cares.

I am sure he would charm the pants off the City Council.

ONE DAY IN THE CITY COUNCIL UNDER MAYOR HOWSER

Council President:  The Mayor has a presenation.

Mayor Howser:  Thank you Mr. President and members.  I've been visiting with 
an awful lot of folks who love Los Angeles and want see it remain a special 
place.  One of those is Esther DeBer, the persimmion lady of South Central, 
and she's baked up a whole mess of persimmion bars for each and every one of 
you.

(pass out the bars)

Mayor Howser: Hey Luis! Get a shot of Councilman Ferraro sloppin' his 
persimmion bar all over his lapel!

I hope y'all enjoyed these wonderful treats Esther's baked up for his.  And in 
the meantime, would y'all please vote yes on my City Hall reform plan.
