It's basically a circuit-breaker: So long as things are running quietly, the Mayor is fine, although he has the issue of creatively non-noticing things while also keeping tabs on them unofficially. If, on the other hand, something major should go wrong, the mayor is basically there to take the fall for it.

The current mayor favors the latter, assuming that not doing so would cause fewer 'ripples'. | ''vs the Legionnaires'': Various mayors have set different tones with the Foreign Legion outpost uphill from the Maiorie.
