Why the city of Houston must change it's charter to make it's local government democratic.

Dr Ntuba Thompson Akwo international political leader physician and communicator.  Certified professional and expert global health USA.  Adviser of prime ministers and presidents  at work at Houston city hall during  the years of Anise parker as mayor. 

Recently 'Dr Ntuba Akwo Thompson  addressed  accession of city of Houston councilors and Mayor Sylvester Turner  for the need for the office of  city council chairman position to be separated  from the position and office of mayor .
    In Houston  the mayor is not an elected  councilor but  mysteriously sits among councilors in council sessions  as the chief councilor and or chairman of the  council . That is one of the most uncivilized  and primitive type of local government  arrangements  like happens  in Banana  third world  republics where dictators  or dictor living mayors  usurp the  powers of  councilors. 
  Can you imagine  if President  Biden was also the head of congress ' with councilors and or congress people begging him to pass their agendas ?.
   The system in Houston  was made by people who wanted  to have all the powers  on one office and because  those who came after them enjoy the primitive system's they donot talk about it and against it .
    The last budget session made me so angry that I told my self that ' I will do every thing to change that primitive form of local government. 
    Working on proposition that separates the office of mayor from that of council  chairman or lady .
    Let the councilors run the council 'and one of them be the chairperson  and the mayor remain  executive  officer . In Miami they have independent  head of council from the commissioners ' a mayor and city manager.  That checks corruption  .
 In Houston corruption  isceasily done because  one office  has the power to stop councilors who want to check the office of mayor .
  It is so bad that presently they are using vice mayor and brainless city lawyers to force the city finance controller  to have one report with the director of finance.  Where did these entry level local government  politicians learn their own political science from if I may  ask ?.
     Alot  needs to change with the going away of mayor Sylvester  Turner stepping out in a number of months ahead .
