Why not inspect Andy, Doc, Keith and Ron while they're at it?

Municipal affairs minister Jack Byrne announced today that an inspector will be sent into the town of Portugal Cove-St. Philip's "to assess the conduct of the councilors and senior officers to determine if the business of the town is being negatively impacted by the conduct of any or all individuals...".

According to Byrne, "this is a necessary step to restore confidence and order in the municipality of Portugal Cove–St. Philip’s."

So why the heck hasn't Byrne sent an entire squad of inspectors to St. John's city council to sort out what must surely be one of the most dysfunctional crowd of municipal politicians outside of Michael J. Fox's old sitcom?
