Impact analysis
Right now, city dollars are likely going to get wasted on legal scrambling and setting up a sudden special transition, which isn't great for our local budget.
Honestly, nobody really wins here except maybe political opponents or ambitious local council members looking for an early shot at the mayor's seat.
Everyday residents of Chino take the hit here, because our local government is totally distracted from fixing potholes and running the city smoothly.
