He makes about $60,000 more than the Mayor and will be the last one to push back. Chiefs like that will quit and go to another Chiefs job before they push back.

Don't expect Fischer or Conrad to do anything but stay the course without a lot of new pressure being exerted by the citizens and metro council.
