As long as he his following city, state and federal laws, he should. The people elected him to represent them. Having said that, our mayor does not have a vote. Most actions have to be taken by council. He can try to influence them and lobby for what he wants to do, but in the end, it is up to our council.
And here's another thought: a group of people get together and want something for themselves, but it wouldn't be in the best interest of the city as a whole. Most conscientious Mayors would deny the group.

Leaders Lead. Followers Follow. Followers have no means of accountability and cannot and do not have a vision or comprehensive plan for the future direction of a city or other organization. Leading by public opinion polls makes for a schizophrenic leadership. What do you do when the polls contradict themselves? Who do you follow.
No one, because a leader is elected to lead. The voters had their say on election day and will have another on to judge the leadership on the next election day. In between those days, the leader has been given a mandate to lead. So do it.

Yes, at least in certain situations. Sometimes the public doesn't know whats what or wrong until a few years down the road, then a proper assesment can be made of whatever the issue was.

No, he was elected by the people for the people. If the people want something that is bad for them that is there decision. The majority governs the minority even if the majority has horrible ideas.

That is what he was elected for to make decisions. If not just run polls and implement what they say and eliminate his job!

Lets put it this way. . . the people elect you to "represent them." If your not doing what they want, are YOU REPRESENTING THEM or yourself?
