BURLINGTON, ON
The Mayor wants to keep his job – he threw hit hat into the ring this morning. Now all he needs is a candidate to run against him.
Mayor Rick Goldring with Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne. Will she get re-elected before he faces the electorate and will he win when he does?
Other than a notice on the city’s web site that published who has filed nomination papers and who has not – there isn’t a word from the mouth of the Mayor.
No media release, nothing on his blog. There is no mention of a campaign website; there is a personal email address to reach him as a candidate. rickgoldring@hotmail.com
Last time out, then Council member Goldring, issued a number of well written position papers. Residents have no indication from Rick Goldring at this point as to why he thinks he should be re-elected.
We will just have to wait and see how he rolls out his campaign.
Amen sister.
Well now that Goldring has decided to run again…get ready to repair any fence boards this spring…as you know Goldring is fence sitter. Hopefully, someone with leadership skills will decide to join the race.
It is going to be interesting to see what Goldring will say to invite electoral support. However, what really is there to say, especially this early in the year? Firstly, the budget and the 14% tax increase has to be dealt with, and so do some other outstanding files. Goldring is smart not to say anything; there is no benefit for him to do so. But, he should stay as far away as possible from Wynne.
