Elected officials are qualified managers by definition

Fixing San Bernardino’s broken budget will help get the city out of bankruptcy. Fixing the city’s politics may help it stay out.
The California city is trying to become the first U.S. municipality to overhaul its political structure while in bankruptcy, asking voters to approve a new charter that strips the mayor and city council of day-to-day operational control. If the ballot measure wins in November, San Bernardino would join the majority of U.S. cities in which elected officials hire a professional manager to run operations, according to the National League of Cities.
San Bernardino’s "charter doesn’t properly delegate responsibility between various city officials,” said bankruptcy attorney Marc Levinson, who led the California cities of Stockton and Vallejo through the bankruptcy process. “There are not clear lines.”

Listen to the argument.  San Bernardino's politicians realize they, themselves, are the liar scumbags.  But the implication is that voters in San Bernardinos's elect liar because they lie and the intent is to destroy the city.  It is being fixed! That means that San Bernardino's voted have figured that they, themselves, are the idiots and should be restricted in their powers.

It is like way too confusing for me, and I am not that dumb.  If voters in that city are so stupid, then where did they get intelligent enough to figure out  how stupid they are? It must be the evolution theory, after a while the dumber voters disappear, like fermion statistic took over and they got locked out.
