They divided the city into three electoral wards, and in one ward there was 70 percent of the people, the Catholic population, and they elected eight representatives to the city council.

I've been here, in the council, for eight years. I feel that I know what is going on in the city. I have the relationships with people that will help me to make sure these programs continue.

Total ghettoization, because they were in charge of public housing, the local council, and they deliberately located people in a ghetto situation in order to ensure that they maintained control.

It is high, but not unreasonable, ... We're bypassing the City Council. I just don't like doing that.

There is no pleasure worth forgoing just for an extra three years in the geriatric ward.

Presidents are elected not by direct popular vote but by 538 members of the Electoral College.
