Roger's position in the next three years (Our assumptions)

So what is our take on Roger's role in the next three years?

1.  Roger has not retired because he has NO suitable candidate in his party to elect.  Each of them is either debating retirement or are tainted with corruption in the public eye.  The next three years, or less, he needs to find a successor. 

2.  The problem is he can elect anyone on his board right now.  We are sure he is ready.  His pension is topped.  The problem is he has to part with his war chest and find someone who is ready to take the tax increase heats coming.  Someone leading the Titanic under.

3.  Therefore, this is no easy task.  With Roger debating on sitting on other boards for extra money, he will try to influence this next person.  We will call this candidate "the puppet".

4.  His last recourse is to drop before the next election, and let elections take its course.  Since he is never one to allow fair elections, we doubt this one.

5.  Currently he takes direction from Kavinaugh, but you won't find this out of towner running.  He makes too much in the residual lawsuits he gets.  $140K salary is chump change.  We do, however, know he will be at the bottom of this direction, pulling all puppet strings.

6.  In finality, there is no saving the path of destruction.  The next Mayor will take all the crap and will try to rebuild.  It is not a job many would want.  There are no rewards in that.
