Realtively good job.
Don't always with street repaving priorities.
Hancock's been OK. He's trod that thin line between the school privatizers who want to break schools up and hire unproven charter contractors, and the more moderate teacher's union reformers who want to fix problems. He declined to take DPS over when people were pushing him to do so.
He's certainly taken a lot of money from Green Valley Ranch homebuilders.
My main gripe with Hancock is that he pushed reinstatement of the Denver pit bull ban, leading to thousands of executed dogs, and the city losing many long term residents, including myself, after I had rescued a pit bull.
I understand that Hancock had a traumatic experience with being bitten by a pit as a child, but I wish he had looked at the science and stats, which show that fatal dog bites can come from a variety of breeds, and "dangerous dogs" are much more about the owner than the dog.
So this breed specific legislation, which Hancock sponsored as a city councilman, leading to a "local control fight", and then endorsed as Mayor, has cost millions of dollars, caused an exodus of responsible dog owners from Denver, and wastefully killed thousands of great dogs. Other than that, I guess he's been a great Mayor.
He's come a long way since Hookergate.
This has been a dramtic shift since Hick was mayor. Denver has arguably gotten better, and the guy doesn't seem to want to take credit for it – just tackle one problem and move on to the next with no fan fare. I admire that in a politician, I wish more of our elected folks did that.
It's still a very restrained approach to governing. For a city like Denver, I wish Hancock would take a more progressive approach, but he's getting things done and that's nothing to complain about.
