To the extent that anyone pays attention to the RG, the current bevy of reporting and commentary on the City Hall "fiasco" (you got the right word here - sadly this isn't the only frightening lapse in recent municipal judgment) is finally opening a can of worms that urgently begs for repair.  The problem is a systemic one that, sadly, cannot be resolved by mere finger pointing at the mayor, manager, council, or the electorate - all share blame.  Unfortunately our messy governmental arrangement makes more coherent reform difficult and, sad to say, unlikely.  An essential  first step in this sordid case would to follow the editorial's heading - SCRAP the irritating project.  The political atmosphere has been so polluted by collective ineptitude that no proposal for a new structure will fly until a modicum of trust is re-established which will not be soon.  Under the circumstances, the EWEB "option" (if it is one) would appear the most promising way out of this man made thicket.
