"That's also the most dangerous option," Leo countered. "Ethan, like I just said, we don't have the people right now. Those old bureaucrats might be lazy and greedy, but the entire city hall depends on them to function."

Leo also drew a circle next to "Municipal Transparency Reform."
"We definitely have to do this, but we need to boil the frog slowly. Let Sarah's audit department start from the periphery, pick a few key targets to make an example of them. We can't declare all-out war from the get-go."

Pittsburgh Revitalization Plan, Phase II.

"For Phase II, we need to replicate that success in the other districts."
