The interim mayor for another two and a half months, Lowery patiently answered questions in a committee session, in a full-council session, and a couple of impromptu press conferences.

But his choice for city attorney, Veronica Coleman Davis, was put on hold for two weeks, during which time she will be a deputy city attorney.
