Congratulations on the site and the opportunity to participate.
I think the City will be best served by an independant Mayor. Our community is
made up of many social, cultural and political groups. Lets hope that voters
consider values and skill sets that candidates can bring to the table. Quality
debate and a commitment to making the best decisions on behalf of our citizens
based on the goals and values they have set in our Community Plan should be the
bottom line. I do not think that a team of candidates backing the vision and
policies of one person (ie the Mayor) actually leads to a better outcome for
the whole community.
We are a diverse community and there is no one simple philosophy that suits
everyone.
