I believe the council made the correct decision for all the good it will do.  He will never resign.  He is extremely crafty and certainly will not abdicate his throne.  Why should he when public opinion doesn't matter to him?  I equate him to the old snake oil salesman and he's as slick as the oil he's selling.  I am so glad that he isn't my mayor but he is a joke for the whole area.  I have never seen anyone with such a sense of entitlement.
