Impact analysis
If appointments favor connections over competence, residents could pay through weaker services, costly do-overs, or legal challenges.
Council members and their preferred appointees may benefit if the process rewards loyalty or relationships over qualifications.
Qualified applicants who get passed over—and residents who expect competent, fair hiring—take the hit.
