OK, I'll bite -- how does having an extra layer between the mayor and councilors improve communication? One more barrier helps things how?
Fuck, they're all at the same end of the same floor of the same building. Nothing's stopping anyone from knocking on someone's door, except for hurt feelings.
As for the dysfunctional relationship, I'd say there were three one-offs. DiIanni shot himself in the foot with illegal campaign donations. Bratina shot himself in the face with Peggygate. Eisenberger was the only one who had a genuine political difference with members of his council, namely on the stadium location -- about which he's been fairly vindicated.
Clark. Even by Team Mike Harris standards, he's such a disingenuous asshole.
