After Politics
Disero unexpectedly resigned from council on March 14, 2003. She subsequently created the firm Boomer Consulting, named after her dog. She also returned to City Hall in 2003 as business development officer for Light Heat Cool Ltd., a new-technology waste-disposal firm. Her longtime assistant Cesar Palacio won the Ward 17 council seat in the 2003 municipal election.
Disero has continued to support gasification techniques for disposing urban waste. Some have suggested that she may return to municipal politics in the future.

Famous quotes containing the word politics:
“The average educated man in America has about as much knowledge of what a political idea is as he has of the principles of counterpoint. Each is a thing used in politics or music which those fellows who practise politics or music manipulate somehow. Show him one and he will deny that it is politics at all. It must be corrupt or he will not recognize it. He has only seen dried figs. He has only thought dried thoughts. A live thought or a real idea is against the rules of his mind.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
“The politics of the exile are fever,
revenge, daydream,
theater of the aging convalescent.
You wait in the wings and rehearse.
You wait and wait.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
