I enjoy watching the Animal Planet. They have a series called "Escape to Chimp Eden". It's about a fellow who rescues chimps that have been caged as "pets", many for several years, and as a result, suffer from physical and mental issues. His goal is to bring them to a sanctuary where they can learn to be chimps, recover and hopefully, for many, go back to the wild. As you can imagine, they can get very noisy and nasty.
Every time I talk with Mary Jolley about her dealings with her commission counterparts, I think of this program. Last week sounded like it could have been a take from this series. Mary asked a few questions and evidently all hell broke loose; Bronson got so mad he was shaking, Rosenbaum looked like he wanted to get violent, the Mayor "barked" something that Mary couldn't begin to understand and Beecher, well, he did share part of his sandwich with Mary. (To make it even better, there were witnesses to this zoo-like atmosphere).
And off to the side, watching this spectacle, was the new city manager, busily writing.
On Friday Mary met with Mr. Doyan. I have a feeling it went well.

Sounds like a union shop in which Mary tried to do some actual work.
