Re:The Koch brothers are campaigning against tax rises for public tran... on Tuesday June 19, 2018 @09:19AM (#17346293)

Oct 2017 - Unveils $5.2bil plan Mar 2018 - Pleads guilty to felony and resigns; interim mayor (vice mayor appointed) May 01 2018 - Vote on plan May 24 2018 - Vote for new mayor (vice mayor wins with 55% of vote)

Yeah, sounds roller-coastery.
