The
November 2006 Municipal Election Will Be All About Electing People
With Strong Leadership Skills
When it comes to casting your vote in the November 2006
Municipal Election, your choice will pretty much depend on one thing and
one thing only. Who do you feel among the possible candidates possesses the strongest
leadership skills? For example, anyone can make promises, but not everyone is capable of
delivering on those promises. Sometimes it requires a great deal of
strategic thinking and positioning in order to accomplish specific goals. For

Government 101 or How To Run A City

job.
When you follow a "Baseline Philosophy", you are
concerned about three main outcomes of every decision.
 | Your decision must "increase" the Total Money Available
within the City of Greater Sudbury, and/or;
|
| Your decision must "increase" the Total Population of the
community, and/or;
|
| Your decision must "increase" the Total Constituent
Satisfaction Level within the City of Greater Sudbury. For
