BURLINGTON, ON
No idea what this one is about but the Mayor has had media requests sent out for a Special Campaign Announcement at Indian Wells Golf Course Wednesday, October 18, 2017, beginning 10 AM.
A little early for an announcement that he plans to run for re-election next October.
The Mayor has been dropping hints that he is ready to run – did that in one of his blogs a while back.
But he also mentioned that he was keeping his financial planning accreditation current.
The chatter amongst those at city hall has Ward 2 Councillor Marianne Meed Ward and Mike Wallace are likely candidates for the office of Mayor.
The election is scheduled to take place in late October of 2018. Nominations cannot be filed until May 1st of 2018.
Councillor Marianne Meed Ward will have my vote. Maybe then we can stop the concrete jungle mentality.
Meed-Ward is a L-I-B-E-R-A-L, I’ve had enough of Liberals screwing up our provincial and federal governments. But more telling is that MW did NOT represent ALL of Burlington in the recent school closure fiasco; when push came to shove, she didn’t make the tough call, she looked after her own school. Not leadership in my books!
Perhaps a provincial or federal run?
