I don't disagree with the concept of the mayor's new Office of Community Resilience. I didn't disagree with it when he created it seven years ago and called it the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
Obviously, the office was a failure. What has it accomplished? I'm guessing millions of dollars of funding and nothing to show for it.
Now, the mayor is going to duplicate the office and spend double the money. Couldn't he just fire the ineffective staff running the Office of Multicultural Affairs and hire some competent people?
If he just wants a name change, maybe he could at least defund the Office of Multicultural Affairs and use the money to fund the new Office of Community Resilience.
