Mr Ng...with all due respect...the #1 PRIORITY for ALL politicians is RE-ELECTION. If they have term limits, then the priority is a cushy job afterwards. 

In the case of our ethically bankrupt mayor, it's win-win...he gets a taxpayer paid, six figure salary AND a make busy, do nothing "job" (or "service" depending on who says it) at the bank in excess of $200k solely because...well...he's the mayor (no impropriety there, right?).
