The mayor is bored with being the mayor.
He hates going into his office at city hall.
He is rarely there.
He dislikes having to appear before the city council, and does so only when absolutely necessary.
He’s been there and done that so many times during the past decade that it is like putting nails in his eyes to have to talk with councilors or to debate measures he simply wants passed.

His ideas are the only ideas.
He believes he owns the keys to the city – that Everett is his – that everything he’s done over the years constitutes a big owe to him from the people of the city.
