the news SINCE his election is more exciting than the win:

The audit "... found plenty of problems. Poor planning. Poor

documentation.
Hundreds of city credit cards and cell phones with few safeguards."
(though I have to say it's a bit odd that Doug's response to the audit
is to say the city should hire another employee).
