Impact analysis
No dollar figures are attached yet, so the budget effect is unclear—but reshuffling City Hall can shift spending priorities and administrative costs.
Depends on which side prevails — the mayor's proposed members gain influence over future charter amendments.
Critics argue district representation and independent oversight voices, particularly Vice Mayor Lee's, are lost.
