NOTE: Read the above-given passage and answer the below-given questions related to it in your own words. In your opinion. I need 4-5 lines of answers per question.

1 of 1 The Chief-of-Staff's Daughter The mayor of Edisonville, a midwestern community of 50,000, was reelected on a campaign pledge to make the city more responsive to its citizens. During the campaign, one irate citizen described how difficult it was to obtain city budget data. I just found the city bureaucracy to be a labyrinth, a maze, to work through." As a member of council, you agree-"a lot of people don't know who to call. I think it just shows we're not as user-friendly as we might be." "What should we do?" you ask. A colleague pipes up: "Why not appoint an ombudsman-a person who can troubleshoot citizen problems and perhaps get things done faster and more effectively." The idea is brought to the mayor, who thinks it is terrific. "Let's do it! There's money in the current year's budget to cover the position; all that we need to do is to write the job description." A few weeks later the job description is posted in the city's personnel job directory. Seven finalists are interviewed; all are well qualified. Among the finalists is the mayor's chief-of-staff's daughter, June. Her work experience includes nearly three years as a constituent services representative for Governor Hur. The mayor reviews the list of finalists and appoints his chief-of- staff's daughter. Discussion Questions 1. Is this an act of cronyism? 2. Is it an act of nepotism? June does not report directly to her dad, the chief of- staff, but reports to the director of the Citizen Information Center. The mayor did have to sign a waiver of Municipal Code Section 6.78.432 which bars the city from employing a supervisor's immediate family members in the supervisor's department. 3. Should you speak to the mayor about this decision? Make an issue out of it at the next council meeting
