Sullivan, corralled four other councilors, and couched in the rhetoric of getting more Cambridge people involved in the task force, the mayor drafted a resolution to remove the agency from the city manager's office and dump it in his own lap. Although Sullivan didn't get his way, he did gain the right to stock the task force with twelve people, possibly people aligned with his view favoring the museum.
