I don't see how "hold the line" and "move the line up by 4.5%" can be reconciled. At best an inflation-indexed increase could be justified. Hamiltonians certainly aren't seeing a 4.5% increase in their incomes.

Ah. Your article begins, "Hamilton’s freedom of information manager has been ordered to respond..." hence my confusion. Thank you.

Appreciate your reporting, Joey. It would be helpful if you could include the actual names of the people involved, not just their job titles or the nebulous "staff" or "city." For example, is Lisa Barroso the freedom of information manager subject to the order?

A couple of SF series off the top of my head: Remembrance of Earth's Past (Three Body Problem, etc.) by Liu Cixin and the Mars Trilogy (Red Mars, etc.) by Kim Stanley Robinson. I really enjoyed both of those.

I'm not sure we give it a lot of thought. Kind of like the senate. We should probably get around to cleaning up our form of government a bit sometime, though. It's become a bit crufty.
