What does a mayor do?
Leads a city. In 'strong mayor' cities (like Chicago) the mayor runs city departments and proposes the budget; in others the city council and a city manager hold more power. Usually 4 years.
- Police and fire departments
- City budget and property tax levy
- Streets, water and garbage
