Panama City might be fortunate to have as many as 12 people "running" it.
I expect my little town is "run" by about four men and they are all Republicans. These are the guys who move and shake the "movers and shakers".
The faces change from year to year as some get old and die but the "guidance" of the town remains fairly continuous.
Or is this a sort of "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" in Panama City?
