Of course a mayor is going to be pro-business...if they weren't then they have no business being mayor.

His embarrassing comments during the Lancaster ramp debate certainly lend themselves to that view of him. My take is more in alignment with him being sort of reflective of the balance of the city's priorities, but he could afford to put a little more leadership into asking the businesses to adapt to a changing city (or at least not pretend minimal impact changes are going to end business viability in the city broadly...).

Indeed. He is the mayor and not the BIA CEO...
