Rather than complaining on how spineless the last Council and ways of |
| 21 |
getting it stronger, it's interesting to look back at one-year-worth of |
| 22 |
Council decisions and see where (and by whom) it has been disobeyed. |

I for one was quite demotivated to see that the Infra team could |
| 25 |
overrule the Council (and did it twice). Fixing this is the first step |
| 26 |
in having a strong Council / leader / whatever. |
