ELECTION ISSUES OF THE WEEK |
Robert
Kirwan Says City Council Has Ignored
Valley
East
Long Enough!
There are a number of
reasons why Robert Kirwan is running for the position of Councillor of
Ward 6 – Hanmer and Val Therese in the November Municipal election. One
of the most important reasons is because he and thousands of other
residents of
Valley East
feel they have been ignored by City Council ever since the first day of
amalgamation. For
More>>>>
Councillors Must Remember That They
Represent & Speak On Behalf Of The Constituents of their
Individual Ward.
Each City Councillor is elected to represent a single
ward. If I am elected to serve Ward 6 - Hanmer & Val
Therese, I clearly understand that I am to be the voice of my
constituents at City Council. The only person on City Council
who can say that he represents all of the people in the city is
the Mayor, who is elected at large.
