Stoney contracted with a consulting arm of Virginia Commonwealth University to conduct the review, which was released to the public in May. As promised, it offered a high-level review of operations in every city department along with recommendations for improvement, which Stoney’s administration is in the process of implementing.

However, Stoney was very specific on the campaign trail that he intended to complete the review within 100 days of taking office. Instead, the review came out 144 days after he took office. At the time, Stoney’s press office made the semantic argument that Stoney had kept his promise because the field work was completed within 100 days; it just took longer to compile and release the report. But Stoney did not say on the campaign trail that field work would be completed within 100 days: he promised the full review, analytical analysis and all. A small quibble, and one voters are unlikely to hold against him.
