I also think in terms of when you look at the mayors power visavis the board, if the mayor appoints someone who is then prohibited from running for reelection, the mayor will have less incentive to appoint someone who actually reflects that district and who will therefore be viable to seek reelection in that district. The mayor, in fact, will have incentive to appoint someone who is not necessarily responsive to the district, but is more responsive to the mayor. And that person can be in office for six months. And, so, the last thing we should be doing is putting supervisors in office who have no prospect of ever having to face the voters again and who, therefore, are going to have less incentive to actually care about what the voters need and what the voters want. So, i know that supervisor avalos intention is to reduce the power of the mayor visavis board appointments, but in one sense it actually can increase that power. So, in the end i think we have a good and workable system. Are
