OSAKA -- Osaka Mayor Junichi Seki has unveiled his detailed proposal for reforming the city government.
Now he has to face down bureaucrats who fear changes in their salary structure and politicians out to protect their pet projects.
The formal proposal comes barely two weeks after Seki was returned to office in a snap election made necessary when he stepped down in October. He resigned in a bid to seek a public mandate after a year of battling the bureaucracy over a broad range of reforms for the financially troubled city.
