Politics is the candidates' quest to persuade the voters to elect him/her. The ad campaigns, news conferences, and the debates. The ordinances you mentioned is the legislative process of governing. The constituents can only influence, not control, the way an elected official governs. If the community gets angry enough at the leaders, the community will vote them out of the next election. This is the system of a republic as opposed to pure democracy, which is simply majority rule, as seen in California's proposition system.

I was deployed to Louisiana with the National Guard for two months after Hurricane Katrina. I had the distinct displeasure of meeting Mayor Nagin on a couple of ocassions. The man is an incompetent, racist boob.\n\nTrue leaders find solutions for their people NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE. All Mayor Nagin did was whine and complain. He had no real plan of action to help his people.\n\nHe deserves neither the office nor the title of Mayor.

profiling is a technique that you would not know he was using unless you saw his planing possess and it is legal.\n\nWhat he is doing (I can only assume due to lack of information) is following you around based on (you assume) your race or the like.\n\nYou can do any of the following\n\nCall up the city mayors office\nCall up the police office \nCall your local Representative\n\nComplaining to any of these people will not do any good but it will cause the officer some hassle because he will have to present his patrolling pattern to someone but then he will be back on duty.

first go to the local pd and find out their position,  planing dept to find out their position, and then if you aren't discouraged, start currying favor with the council. you will get a lot of nimby knee jerk reactions.\n\nfrom these 3 entities, you'll get a pretty good idea how to proceed.

Dear Sir (or Madam), \n\nYou know, women are allowed to become Mayor, too. :)\n\nEdit:\n\nI looked this up and it says on the outside envelope that you're addressing, it should say: The Honorable John (or Jane) Jones; His (or Her) Honor the Mayor \n \nAddress goes here  \n\nand the salutation should read: Dear Mayor Jones

It is funny. As for the person who said something about working to make your town cleaner, I know that the town in question is not particularly clean and the people in charge don't do anything. The mayor of the town, sorry that should be mayoress shouldn't it? Well anyway, neither her nor her husband are much use to anyone. I know, I met them. They have 3 kids all with learning difficulties and still think they are better than everyone else. Well, when I say learning difficulties, I think it has more to do with having parents who don't know anything.

I believe Giuliani attempted to enforce it.  Mayors cannot create law.  That function goes to the city council and state assembly (or the federal government).  Jaywalking was part of Giuliani's attept to change the 'quality of life' in the city.  I recall that in one recent year, possibly after he left office, approximately 100 tickets were issued.  Also, it may not be an offense if you cross solely from one side of the street to the other using the shortest method possible (i.e. don't go diagonally).

They just had a mayoral election this past November. (2005)\n\nHowever, this was the first year in many that they did this.  Previously people just elected the city council and then they chose a mayor.

He is the first Hispanic mayor of Los Angeles since California became a state.  He is a patriotic American citizen and a relatively liberal Democrat.

The structure of a city government varies widely depending on the size and makeup of the city. Most have a city commission or council, which is headed by the mayor. They make most of the decisions concerning the city. There are then several departments that carry out the city's laws, including police (though many cities rely on county sheriffs), fire departments, building inspections and permits, licensing of various sorts, public schools, parks and recreation, etc.

The mayor is not too smart in D. C.
