Who is everyone's favorite mayor? Who are some historically good and bad mayors?

I have only a scant knowledge of mayors, so I can't really contribute, sorry.

Fun Fact: Cities in Bhutan also have Mayors



Mr Kinlay Dorjee

quote:

Mayor
Thimpu, Kingdom of Bhutan

Kinlay Dorjee is currently the Mayor of Thimphu, Bhutan. He is the first elected mayor for Thimphu, and has embarked on various urban planning projects. Prior to this, Mayor Dorjee was formerly the General Manager of the Bhutan Power Corporation. As Mayor, Mayor Dorjee has planned to outline development initiatives; in February 2013, he endorsed a Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) Strategy to improve urban sanitation and hygiene for Thimphu City.

Hmm, sounds alright, but what do we really know about him? He doesn't even have a Wikipedia article.

I prefer city managers, so they're more concerned about competence than reelection.

How in the gently caress have none of you mentioned Mike Haggar? Dude's basically mayor for life, even the Punching Glass Windows Factory scandal couldn't bring him down

All that power and he still eats out of a trash can like everyone else in Metro City

My mayor is a cool guy.


He takes his job seriously,


but still knows how to "hang loose."


Here he is enjoying one of our city's several bridges!


Needless to say, with a mustache like that he can take his pick of the ladies.

Unfortunately, he doesn't want to be mayor anymore, so this term is his last. Thanks for 16 acceptable years, Mayor Stacheglasses!

My mayor is a pretty cool dude. In true Nevada fashion, he also owns a casino and mixes a very good old fashioned.

My mayor is a stupid fat gently caress who's inexplicably popular despite the fact he behaves like a petulant child and spends money on stupid poo poo all the time, and he generally looks like a disheveled bum. Also, he's so deep in the closet he's finding Christmas presents.

He won a second term in a landslide. I don't get it, because I've never actually met anyone who admitted voting for him.

Probably Mike Haggar, his scoops are good and eventually people learn to respect the pipe. I don't think his Assist is as good as Dr. Doom's though.

Having a pile driver as his finisher hurts him because that move was banned
