Define "Partners" in progress?
part·ner
ˈpärtnər/
noun
plural noun: partners
1.
a person who takes part in an undertaking with another or others, especially in a business or company with shared risks and profits.

CONCLUSION OF LENGTHY TEN MINUTE SPEECH

I like Neil Osborne, but he's already on the   City's Community Development Board appointed by outgoing Mayor McGlynn. That's unnecessary redundancy, all due respect Mr. Osborne.  A new face or two or three from the African American community would be welcome, not more of McGlynn's comrades.

But this essay comes from logic.  If I am one of Mrs. Burke's 58,000 partners in progress, she will listen.  Because I am now one of her harshest critics - and older than her, she has an obligation to listen to me.  Is the mayor elect vindictive or open to other ideas?  That's what partnership means, it isn't a dictatorship, and with the slim margin of alleged victory, she hardly has a mandate.
