Jessica May was just elected Mayor of the City of Colwell. She ran a very aggressive campaign on reducing spending and cutting taxes. She was particularly critical of public employees, calling them leeches who did not understand what it was to really work for a living. The City of 750,000 has a civil service system with due process protections for public employees meaning that they cannot be dismissed except for cause. As Mayor May took office, she realized that she would have to depnd on these career public employees to achieve her goals for the City. So she hired you as a consultant to help her gain the trust and cooperation of the City's public servants.

What would you recommend she d0 and how?
