From the case presented, the mayor is seeking his fifth term by trying please the electorate. The legislation process needs to be disconnected from personal feuds.

Reverend John Hale was among some of the most powerful people in his day and age. Because of his education from Harvard and his relationship with God, he was armed with all he would need to get people on his side.
