Yes, but the job of a government official is to represent the interests of her constituents. That is very hard for anybody in Janet Tutt's position to do in cases where the interests of the Developer conflict with those of her constituents and the Developer can fire her at any time. From what I have seen, Ms. Tutt does a reasonably good job of dealing with the situation. But residents should be aware of the fact that she can never cross the Developer when his interests are at odds with those of the residents.
