That way I can justify my time for the City” “It’s harder to set your priorities and then lay them out on the table and have other agencies come in and say, “Well, let’s change that for you.”…It changes your work plan; it changes your focus; it changes what people do on the ground. There is a lot that goes into giving up your autonomy.”
