Weak Mayor System

From the liberal Post-Bulletin regarding the election for City Council President:

Rochester has what's known as a "weak mayor system," which means the city council president is the most powerful person in town. This person doesn't represent just one ward: He or she represents everyone in a city of more than 100,000. That's more constituents than a member of the Minnesota Senate has.

Great. I hope the most powerful person isn't the leftist dumbass who's running.
