John
Robert has decided to step out of the political arena this time around,
but it must be hard to sit still during the current campaign for the
municipal elections. Here, he is shown taking notes during the ‘Meet
The Candidates Night’ held on October 23. Robert has been following
the candidates and listening with interest to their respective positions
on the major issues.
“We
have hundreds of millions of dollars of work to do to upgrade and
maintain our infrastructure,” he commented after the meeting. “Money
must be put aside to take care of these needs or we will be in trouble
in the future. The next council must address these problems. They can
make all the promises they want, but this City is going to need a great
deal of money in the next few years.”
Robert
may not be in the spotlight on the next Council, but it is certain that
we will continue to see his familiar face in Council chambers making
sure that the successful candidates make wise decisions.
