"The voters elected the mayors, didn't they?"

Indeed. And the voters in any particular city should be willing to accept the responsibility for the mistakes their elected leaders make. But they don't. They continually agitate to have others pay for their blunders.

So far is Kyoto is concerned, I'm sure liberals are counting on having everyone pay for it. After all, the costs involved are astonomical. And the cities mentioned simply cannot pay afford it.

Make that "pay for it."

Thanks. :)
