Yiannis Boutaris, Thessaloniki Mayor on a mission!

A wonderful New York Times profile of Yiannis Boutaris' latest project...Greek politics.   You should know Mr. Boutari from the wine empire he built, which he has turned over to his children.

"...Mr. Boutaris, a wiry 70-year-old with a gold stud in one ear, a buzz cut and a penchant for expletives, is trying something previously unheard of at this City Hall: employees are given job descriptions, goals, evaluations — and modest bonuses when they hit their targets"  You have to read this!!!
