It confuses me that people will still vote for the Mayor when it is widely recognized that under his Administration's management we have found ourselves where the "rail situation is so out of control ... the proposed fixes are ... unknowable."  

With rail an acknowledged disaster, it seems voters may also want to ask themselves about whether they want to vote for the Mayor that has managed to allow water mains to break, sewers to overflow, parks to become dilapidated, emergency services and The Bus to be modified and cut, houseless problems to increase, ethical challenges to grow, etc ... 

With so much media attention on the disastrous rail, you wonder if the media helps distract the public from the other smaller scale Mayoral "disasters" affecting residents all around the island.

I am hopeful at some point voters will say let's try a different approach.
